What separates the pressings

Oldest we track, 2002First released 1957; our table starts at 2002 (Get Back Roots, Italy). A copy older than 2002 predates everything here. Treat it as the find.
Collector variants2002 Italy: Picture Disc, Reissue; 2004 Italy: Red; 2014 US: Limited Edition, Numbered, Blue. Scarce on purpose; collectors pay for that.
Reissues, 2002+6 pressings. Easy to find, priced as listening copies.

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 Italy pressing it reads “GET 7503 LP A 33LP” on side one and “GET 7503 LP B 33RPM” on side two. Trust the etching over the jacket: covers get traded around, dead wax stays put.

  3. 3

    Grade the condition. A clean copy and a worn one of the same pressing sit several grades, and several multiples, apart. Grade record and sleeve separately; see our grading guide.

Do not price the cover. A later disc in a 1957 jacket is a reissue, whatever the sleeve says: the pressing lives in the runout etching and on the label.

Questions

Which pressing of With His Hot And Blue Guitar is worth the most?

Original 1957 pressings lead; they predate everything in our table, and that scarcity is the point. Among tracked copies, the 2002 pressings come first. Scarcer variants (the 2002 “Picture Disc, Reissue” and the 2004 “Red”) 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 2002 Italy pressing the runout reads “GET 7503 LP A 33LP”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.

How much is With His Hot And Blue Guitar 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.
