About this record
The unique matrix runouts etched in the dead wax—A1 WIGLP 220 A-1 on Side A and WIGLP 220 B2 on Side B—distinguish this 2009 UK & Europe pressing of Arctic Monkeys' Humbug from later reissues. This pressing was made in the EU and pressed on 180gm heavyweight virgin vinyl, as noted on the sticker.
The inclusion of a coupon insert for MP3 downloads rather than just a sticker sets it apart from other versions with identical covers and labels.
What drives its value
Price data for this Domino pressing shows a Mint copy valued at 5034202022015, with VG+ copies around 034202 and VG copies priced at 022015 according to the price guide. The market snapshot notes 10 copies currently for sale, reflecting steady demand from 4278 collectors wanting it and 14602 having it in their collections.
As a first pressing from 2009 on the original Domino label, this edition holds higher value compared to later reissues with different matrix runouts.
How to appraise this pressing
Collectors can confirm this pressing by checking the catalogue number WIGLP220 on the Domino label and verifying the matrix/runout inscriptions: Side A with A1 WIGLP 220 A-1 and Side B with WIGLP 220 B2, both etched without additional letters or numbers. The 180gm virgin vinyl sticker and coupon insert for MP3 downloads are also key identifiers.
Grading should focus on the vinyl's surface condition, especially given the higher value spread between Mint and VG+ copies indicated by the price guide.
