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 1992 Europe pressing it reads “WMME Alsdorf 756 782418-1-A Hü” on side one and “WMME Alsdorf 756 782418-1-B Hü” 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 1992 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 Core is worth the most?
The 1992 originals lead. Scarcer variants (the 2013 “Limited Edition, Numbered, Reissue” and the 2020 “Limited Edition, Reissue, Red w/ Black Splatter”) 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 1992 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 1992 Europe pressing the runout reads “WMME Alsdorf 756 782418-1-A Hü”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.
How much is Core worth today?
Sellers ask from $22 for the later pressings we have quotes on (eBay, Sep 19, 2026). The 1992 pressings have no quoted range right now. Sold prices usually close lower. Scan your copy in the app for the range on your exact pressing and condition.
