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 1992 UK pressing it reads “DF192_4 848037 1AI” on side one and “DF192_2 848037 1BI” 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.

Questions

Which pressing of Revenge is worth the most?

The 1992 originals lead. Scarcer variants (the 1994 “Limited Edition, Numbered, Reissue” and the 2022 “Limited Edition, Reissue, Silver, 30th Anniversary”) 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 1992 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 1992 UK pressing the runout reads “DF192_4 848037 1AI”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.

How much is Revenge 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.
