What separates the pressings

Originals, 198911 first-year pressings (US, UK, Europe, Australia and 7 more); any of them is an original. Runout on the US copy starts ST-A-897649.
Collector variants1989 Greece: White Label; 2016 UK: Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered; 2019 UK: Limited Edition, Numbered, Reissue. Short runs like these often bring more than a standard early copy.
Reissues, 2016Easy to find, priced as a listening copy.

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 1989 US pressing it reads “ST-A-897649” on side one and “ST-A-897650” 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.

Questions

Which pressing of ...But Seriously is worth the most?

The 1989 originals lead. Scarcer variants (the 1989 “White Label” and the 2016 “Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered”) 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 1989 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 1989 US pressing the runout reads “ST-A-897649”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.

How much is ...But Seriously worth today?

Sellers ask from $20 for the pressings we track (eBay, Sep 20, 2026). Sold prices usually close lower. Scan your copy in the app for the range on your exact pressing and condition.
