What separates the pressings

Oldest we track, 2001First released 1969; our table starts at 2001 (Simply Vinyl, Europe). A copy older than 2001 predates everything here. Treat it as the find.

Collector variants2007 US: Limited Edition, Numbered, Reissue. Pressed in small numbers, and priced accordingly.

Reissues, 2001+6 pressings. Easy to find, priced as listening copies.

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 2001 Europe pressing it reads “63815 A” on side one and “63815 B” on side two. Sleeves migrate between copies over the years; the etching stays with the record.
3
Grade the condition. Condition multiplies the price: near mint can bring several times what a VG copy does. Vinyl and sleeve get separate grades; the scale is in our grading guide.

Discs and jackets part ways over the decades: a 1969 sleeve proves nothing about the record inside it. The runout etching and the label decide the pressing; the cover never does.

Questions

Which pressing of Santana (self-titled) is worth the most?

Original 1969 pressings lead; they predate everything in our table, and that scarcity is the point. Among tracked copies, the 2001 pressings come first. Scarcer variants (the 2007 “Limited Edition, Numbered, 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 2001 Europe pressing the runout reads “63815 A”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.

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