What separates the pressings

Collector variants2022 US: Misprint, Reissue. Short runs like these often bring more than a standard early 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 2002 US pressing it reads “440 063 337-1A” on side one and “440 063 337-1B” 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 2002 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 American IV: The Man Comes Around is worth the most?

The 2002 originals lead. Scarcer variants (the 2022 “Misprint, Reissue”) 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 2002 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 2002 US pressing the runout reads “440 063 337-1A”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.
