What separates the pressings

Oldest we track, 1989First released 1968; our table starts at 1989 (Essential!, UK). A copy older than 1989 predates everything here. Treat it as the find.
Collector variants1999 UK: Limited Edition, Reissue, 180g. Short runs like these often bring more than a standard early copy.
Reissues, 2013+6 pressings. Easy to find, priced as listening copies.

How to identify your copy

  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 1989 UK pressing it reads “ESSLP - 010 - A1” on side one and “ESSLP - 010 - B1” 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.

Questions

Which pressing of Mr. Wonderful is worth the most?

Original 1968 pressings lead; they predate everything in our table, and that scarcity is the point. Among tracked copies, the 1989 pressings come first. Scarcer variants (the 1999 “Limited Edition, Reissue, 180g”) 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 which pressing I have?

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 1989 UK pressing the runout reads “ESSLP - 010 - A1”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.

How much is Mr. Wonderful 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.
