What separates the pressings

Originals, 19835 first-year pressings (US, Europe, France, Germany and 1 more); any of them is an original. Runout on the US copy starts “1 23867A RE2 WW4 –––◁ STERLING”.
Collector variants1986 Europe: Misprint, Reissue; 2018 Worldwide: Picture Disc, Reissue; 2019 Europe: Limited Edition, Reissue, Clear [Crystal Clear], 180g. Short runs like these often bring more than a standard early copy.
Reissues, 2012+2 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 1983 US pressing it reads “1 23867A RE2 WW4 –––◁ STERLING” on side one and “1 23867B RE1 WW1 –––◁ STERLING” 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 1983 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 Madonna (self-titled) is worth the most?

The 1983 originals lead. Scarcer variants (the 1986 “Misprint, Reissue” and the 2018 “Picture Disc, 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 1983 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 1983 US pressing the runout reads “1 23867A RE2 WW4 –––◁ STERLING”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.

How much is Madonna (self-titled) worth today?
