What separates the pressings

Originals, 1986One first-year pressing: Thunderbolt, UK. Runout on the UK copy starts “THBL 1038 A-1 SW B.J.”.
Collector variants1986 UK: White Labels; 1986 UK: Yellow Label. Short runs like these often bring more than a standard early copy.
Reissues, 2010+2 pressings. Easy to find, priced as listening copies.

How to identify your copy

Three checks, in the order worth doing them.

  1. 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. 2

    Read the runout. The code etched in the dead wax near the label names the exact pressing. On the 1986 UK pressing it reads “THBL 1038 A-1 SW B.J.” on side one and “THBL 1038 B SW” on side two. Jackets get swapped over the decades; the runout does not.

  3. 3

    Grade the condition. The same pressing can be worth several times more in near mint than in VG. Grade the vinyl and the sleeve separately — our grading guide shows the standard scale.

A 1986 jacket with a later disc inside is a reissue in an original sleeve. Judge the pressing by the runout etching and the label, never by the cover.

Questions

Which pressing of London Live '68 is worth the most?

The 1986 originals lead. Scarcer variants (the 1986 “White Labels” and the 1986 “Yellow 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 1986 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 1986 UK pressing the runout reads “THBL 1038 A-1 SW B.J.”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.

How much is London Live '68 worth today?

Market prices move, so a static number goes stale fast. Scan the record in the RecordScout app: it identifies your exact pressing from the label and shows a current value range for its condition.
