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 1984 US pressing it reads “422-821-592-1-RE1-AS-PRC- R-3-1-1-E” on side one and “422-821 592-1-BS PRC-1-1-1” 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 Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom (The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is worth the most?

The 1984 originals lead. Scarcer variants (the 1984 “White Label” and the 2026 “Reissue, Orange”) 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 1984 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 1984 US pressing the runout reads “422-821-592-1-RE1-AS-PRC- R-3-1-1-E”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.

How much is Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom (The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) worth today?
