What separates the pressings
How to identify your copy
Three checks, in the order worth doing them.
- 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
Read the runout. The code etched in the dead wax near the label names the exact pressing. On the 2002 Europe pressing it reads “B274074-01 A1 HL” on side one and “B274074-01 B1 HI” on side two. Trust the etching over the jacket: covers get traded around, dead wax stays put.
- 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 2002 jacket is a reissue, whatever the sleeve says: the pressing lives in the runout etching and on the label.
Questions
Which pressing of Nirvana (self-titled) is worth the most?
Early pressings lead — the earliest we track are from 2002. Scarcer variants (the 2020 “Compilation, Limited Edition, 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 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 Europe pressing the runout reads “B274074-01 A1 HL”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.
How much is Nirvana (self-titled) worth today?
Sellers typically ask $26 to $97 for the later pressings we have quotes on; for the 2015 0602547378781 the median ask is $32 over 8 listings (eBay, Sep 19, 2026). The 2002 pressings have no quoted range right now. Sold prices usually close lower. Scan your copy in the app for the range on your exact pressing and condition.
