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 1980 US pressing it reads “CHE 1275-A-RE1-1G” on side one and “PRC-C” on side two. Jackets get swapped over the decades; the runout does not.
- 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 1980 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 Crimes Of Passion is worth the most?
The 1980 originals lead. Scarcer variants (the 1980 “White Labels Terre Haute Pressing” and the 1980 “Club Edition, CRC, White Labels, Terre Haute Pressing”) 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 1980 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 1980 US pressing the runout reads “CHE 1275-A-RE1-1G”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.
