About this record
Stamped matrix numbers on both sides mark this 2006 UK & Europe pressing as the first EU edition, pressed at Portal Space on 170g heavy black vinyl. The catalogue WIGLP162 runouts read WIGLP 162 A-1 and WIGLP 162 B-1, distinguishing it from the transitional pressing that followed with a hand-etched B-side.
Community demand is substantial: 10965 collectors want this title against 31644 who own it, yet only 19 copies are listed for sale, keeping the lowest asking price at 17.06 USD.
What drives its value
Price scales sharply with condition on this debut. A Mint copy commands 50.97 USD, while NM drops to 45.60 USD; the VG+ tier sits at 34.87 USD and VG at 24.14 USD.
The 19 copies currently for sale cluster near the 17.06 USD floor, suggesting many are well-played. This first pressing holds its value better than the 2018 US reissue (WIGLP162VMP) because it carries the original Portal Space stamp and the scarce stamped-only matrix configuration.
The 2006 EU CD (WIGCD162) and 2013 EU vinyl reissue dilute demand for originals, but the 2661 ratings at 4.56 average confirm the album's cultural weight drives collector interest beyond mere scarcity.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify the catalogue number WIGLP162 on the rear sleeve, which also prints the copyright line '℗&©2006 Domino Recording Co Ltd' and the barcode LC10192. Check the dead wax on both sides: Side A and Side B must read WIGLP 162 A-1 and WIGLP 162 B-1 respectively, stamped (not etched).
The pressing plant name Portal Space does not appear on the sleeve but is documented in runout research. The package weighs 170g for the vinyl, 76g for the sleeve with the angled 'arctic monkeys' logo sticker in the top left, and includes a 48g card inner sleeve.
Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light; even light dust or minor scuffs drop a Mint copy into NM territory. The stamped-only matrix distinguishes this from the transitional variant (B-2 hand-etched) and the 2013 reissue.

Frequently asked
What is the difference between this 2006 pressing and the 2018 US reissue?
The 2006 UK & Europe pressing (WIGLP162) was pressed at Portal Space with stamped matrix numbers on both sides and ships on 170g vinyl. The 2018 US edition (WIGLP162VMP) is a later reissue on a different label configuration. Original first pressings command higher prices because they predate the reissue and carry the Portal Space plant mark.
How much is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 34.87 USD. This represents a record with light wear but no significant defects. The current market floor is 17.06 USD for copies listed for sale, indicating many available copies are in lower grades.
Why does the matrix say 'A-1' and 'B-1' instead of higher numbers?
The stamped runouts WIGLP 162 A-1 and WIGLP 162 B-1 indicate this is the first pressing variant. A transitional EU pressing followed with a hand-etched B-2 runout on Side B. The '1' suffix marks the original stamped configuration before the plant switched to etching.
What is a Mint copy worth compared to VG?
A Mint copy is priced at 50.97 USD in the guide, while a VG copy is valued at 24.14 USD. The condition gap reflects the rarity of unplayed copies; most of the 19 copies for sale are below VG+ grade, clustering near the 17.06 USD asking floor.
Is the 2013 EU reissue the same as this 2006 original?
No. The 2013 EU pressing is a separate reissue on the same Domino label but with different pressing plant and matrix configurations. This 2006 first pressing on Portal Space with stamped-only matrices is the original issue and commands higher collector value due to its earlier release date and documented pressing history.
