What separates the pressings
How to identify your copy
Three checks, in the order worth doing them.
- 1
Match the catalog number. It is printed on the spine and the record label. Check it together with the country against the pressings table above: the same number can appear in more than one country.
- 2
Read the runout. The code etched in the dead wax near the label names the exact pressing. On the 1988 US pressing it reads “AL-SP △23069 1-25801-A-SHI-Dmm B-33456-SHI Precision DMM 2-2 SPO-1”. Trust the etching over the jacket: covers get traded around, dead wax stays put.
- 3
Grade the condition. A clean copy and a worn one of the same pressing sit several grades, and several multiples, apart. Grade record and sleeve separately; see our grading guide.
Do not price the cover. A later disc in a 1988 jacket is a reissue, whatever the sleeve says: the pressing lives in the runout etching and on the label.
Questions
Which pressing of Greatest Hits is worth the most?
The 1988 originals lead. Scarcer variants (the 1988 “Compilation, Test Pressing, White Label”) can beat an ordinary early copy. After that it is all condition: the gap between near mint and VG is usually larger than the gap between pressings.
How do I tell if I have a 1988 original?
Match the catalog number on the spine and label against the table above, check the country, then read the etched code in the runout groove. On the 1988 US pressing the runout reads “AL-SP △23069 1-25801-A-SHI-Dmm B-33456-SHI Precision DMM 2-2 SPO-1”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.
How much is Greatest Hits worth today?
Sellers ask from $23 for the pressings we track; for the 1988 25838-1 the median ask is $34 over 6 listings (eBay, Sep 20, 2026). Sold prices usually close lower. Scan your copy in the app for the range on your exact pressing and condition.
