What separates the pressings

Originals, 2017One first-year pressing: Music On Vinyl, Europe. Runout on the Europe copy starts 17945 1A MOVLP 1818.
Collector variants2017 Europe: Compilation, Limited Edition, Numbered; 2019 Europe: Red Translucent. Scarce on purpose; collectors pay for that.

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 2017 Europe pressing it reads “17945 1A MOVLP 1818” on side one and “17945 1B MOVLP 1818” 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 Collected is worth the most?

The 2017 originals lead. Scarcer variants (the 2017 “Compilation, Limited Edition, Numbered” and the 2019 “Red Translucent”) 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 2017 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 2017 Europe pressing the runout reads “17945 1A MOVLP 1818”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.

How much is Collected worth today?

Sellers ask from $50 for the pressings we track (eBay, Sep 22, 2026). Sold prices usually close lower. Scan your copy in the app for the range on your exact pressing and condition.
