What separates the pressings

Originals, 2012One first-year pressing: New West, US. Runout on the US copy starts “NW-5045-A2 RE2 GOLDEN Ⓤ”.
Collector variants2012 US: Limited Edition, Black And White Cover, 180g; 2015 US: Limited Edition, Reissue, Gray Marble, 180 Gram ; 2018 US: Limited Edition, Clear With Black Swirl. Pressed in small numbers, and priced accordingly.

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 2012 US pressing it reads “NW-5045-A2 RE2 GOLDEN Ⓤ” on side one and “NW-5045-B RE2 GOLDEN Ⓤ” on side two. Sleeves migrate between copies over the years; the etching stays with the record.

  3. 3

    Grade the condition. Condition multiplies the price: near mint can bring several times what a VG copy does. Vinyl and sleeve get separate grades; the scale is in our grading guide.

Discs and jackets part ways over the decades: a 2012 sleeve proves nothing about the record inside it. The runout etching and the label decide the pressing; the cover never does.

Questions

Which pressing of Live From Austin TX is worth the most?

The 2012 originals lead. Scarcer variants (the 2012 “Limited Edition, Black And White Cover, 180g” and the 2015 “Limited Edition, Reissue, Gray Marble, 180 Gram ”) 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 2012 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 2012 US pressing the runout reads “NW-5045-A2 RE2 GOLDEN Ⓤ”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.

How much is Live From Austin TX worth today?
