What separates the pressings

Oldest we track, 1981First released 1972; our table starts at 1981 (Columbia, US). A copy older than 1981 predates everything here. Treat it as the find.
Collector variants2019 Canada: Compilation, Limited Edition, Green Opaque; 2022 US: Compilation, Reissue, Gold Opaque; 2023 Japan: Compilation, Limited Edition, Reissue. Short runs like these often bring more than a standard early copy.
JapanPressed to high standards and collected separately; a copy with the original obi strip is a different record to collectors than one without.
Reissues, 2016+8 pressings. Easy to find, priced as listening copies.

How to identify your copy

Three checks, in the order worth doing them.

  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 1981 US pressing it reads “P AL-31350-3CD 1 T o Λ7” on side one and “P BL-31350-3BG 1 T o Λ” 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.

A 1972 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 Simon And Garfunkel's Greatest Hits is worth the most?

Original 1972 pressings lead; they predate everything in our table, and that scarcity is the point. Among tracked copies, the 1981 pressings come first. Scarcer variants (the 2019 “Compilation, Limited Edition, Green Opaque” and the 2022 “Compilation, Reissue, Gold Opaque”) 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 1981 US pressing the runout reads “P AL-31350-3CD 1 T o Λ7”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.

How much is Simon And Garfunkel's Greatest Hits worth today?

Sellers typically ask $12 to $20 for the pressings we track; for the 1981 JC 31350 the median ask is $14 over 10 listings (eBay, Sep 19, 2026). Sold prices usually close lower. Scan your copy in the app for the range on your exact pressing and condition.
