What separates the pressings

Oldest we track, 1984First released 1972; our table starts at 1984 (Tamla Motown, Europe). A copy older than 1984 predates everything here. Treat it as the find.
Collector variants2004 US: Limited Edition, Reissue, White, Gatefold; 2011 US: Limited Edition, Numbered, Reissue. Pressed in small numbers, and priced accordingly.
JapanPressed to high standards and collected separately; a copy with the original obi strip is a different record to collectors than one without.
Reissues, 2011+2 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 1984 Europe pressing it reads “DM E-0767 A-1/84 S III 11” on side one and “DM E-0767 B-1/84 S III 11” on side two. Sleeves migrate between copies over the years; the etching stays with the record.

  3. 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 1972 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 Music Of My Mind is worth the most?

Original 1972 pressings lead; they predate everything in our table, and that scarcity is the point. Among tracked copies, the 1984 pressings come first. Scarcer variants (the 2004 “Limited Edition, Reissue, White, Gatefold” and the 2011 “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 1984 Europe pressing the runout reads “DM E-0767 A-1/84 S III 11”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.

How much is Music Of My Mind worth today?

Market prices move, so a static number goes stale fast. Scan the record in the RecordScout app: it identifies your exact pressing from the label and shows a current value range for its condition.
