What separates the pressings

Oldest we track, 1984First released 1956; our table starts at 1984 (Capitol, UK). A copy older than 1984 predates everything here. Treat it as the find.
Collector variants1984 Europe: Reissue, Remastered, Mono; 1984 UK: Remastered, Mono, Barcode; 1997 UK: Mono, Limited Edition. Short runs like these often bring more than a standard early copy.
Reissues, 2019Easy to find, priced as a listening copy.

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 1984 UK pressing it reads “SLCT 6106TA” on side one and “SLCT 6106TB” 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 1956 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 Songs For Swingin' Lovers is worth the most?

Original 1956 pressings lead; they predate everything in our table, and that scarcity is the point. Among tracked copies, the 1984 pressings come first. Scarcer variants (the 1984 “Reissue, Remastered, Mono” and the 1984 “Remastered, Mono, Barcode”) 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 1984 UK pressing the runout reads “SLCT 6106TA”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.

How much is Songs For Swingin' Lovers worth today?
