About this record

GZ Media pressed this 2024 USA & Europe edition with catalogue number 602465270495 as a limited-edition stereo LP, but the eco-mix yellow vinyl proved unstable in production—copies range from faded yellow to orange, with translucency varying between pressings. The dead-wax matrix stamps 602465223651 - A 279720E1 and 602465223651 - B 279720E2 identify the GZ pressing plant work, while the outer sleeve carries 602465270495 and the inner sleeve prints 602465223651, a detail that separates this from the worldwide catalogue 602465223651 variant.

Demand sits at 2174 want against 25083 have in the collector base, with 91 copies currently for sale at a floor of 17.8 USD.

What drives its value

The price guide values this pressing from 46.63 USD in Mint condition down to 2.45 USD in Poor, with a VG+ copy estimated at 31.91 USD and VG at 22.09 USD—the steep M-to-VG drop reflects how the unstable eco-mix yellow vinyl ages unpredictably, making condition the primary driver of value. The lowest asking price of 17.8 USD across 91 active listings undercuts the VG estimate, signalling soft demand relative to the 25083 collectors who own one.

This USA & Europe pressing (catalogue 602465270495) competes against five other 2024 variants: the worldwide edition (602465223651), UK-specific pressing (602465611113), US variant (6024705012566), and two additional Darkroom releases (602465270525, 602465270549), plus a 2025 reissue (00602478161476). The Target exclusivity in the US and region-locked retail partnerships (HMV UK, Fnac France/Belgium, JB Hi-Fi Australia) limit secondary-market supply but do not sustain premium pricing; the 4.67 rating across 2771 community votes reflects consistent reception rather than scarcity-driven collector frenzy.

How to appraise this pressing

Confirm this pressing by the outer-sleeve catalogue number 602465270495 paired with the inner-sleeve number 602465223651; the GZ Media plant stamped both A-side matrix 602465223651 - A 279720E1 191364 and B-side 602465223651 - B 279720E2 192666 through the runout. Alternate pressings show extended matrix codes (279720E1 1913465 with 43742.1 notation, or 279720E2 1915283 with 43741.2 and PHD prefix), which indicate later GZ stamper revisions but do not change the pressing plant or catalogue identity.

Grade by the vinyl colour stability: Mint copies hold uniform yellow without orange cast or translucency shifts, NM examples show minimal colour drift at the label edges, VG+ copies display noticeable fading or orange undertones across 10–15% of the surface, and VG copies show widespread colour variation or translucency loss. The gatefold jacket houses a recordliner with lyrics on both sides and arrives in a plastic sleeve with a front sticker (artist, album, version, and 602465270495); some copies bear a back sticker reading MADE IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC.

The poster insert and barcode presence confirm authenticity; track durations are intentionally absent from the printed backsleeve.

Frequently asked

What catalogue number identifies this pressing?

The outer sleeve prints 602465270495, while the inner sleeve carries 602465223651. Both numbers appear on the front sticker of the plastic sleeve. This differs from the worldwide pressing (602465223651 catalogue) and the UK variant (602465611113), making the outer-sleeve number the primary identifier for this USA & Europe edition.

How much is a VG+ copy worth?

The price guide estimates VG+ at 31.91 USD as of the guide date. However, the current floor across 91 active listings is 17.8 USD, indicating that actual asking prices run well below the estimate. A Mint copy is valued at 46.63 USD in the guide, while VG drops to 22.09 USD.

What makes the yellow vinyl unstable on this pressing?

The release notes specify that the eco-mix vinyl formulation used for the yellow colour is inherently unstable, resulting in fading from yellow toward orange and variable translucency between copies. This is not a defect but a documented characteristic of the production run, meaning no two copies will age or appear identically.

How many collectors own this pressing versus want it?

Community data shows 25083 collectors have this pressing against 2174 who want it, a ratio of roughly 11.5 to 1. The 4.67 rating across 2771 votes reflects broad ownership and consistent reception, but the want-to-have ratio suggests limited scarcity premium.

What is the GZ Media matrix code on this pressing?

The A-side matrix reads 602465223651 - A 279720E1 191364, and the B-side reads 602465223651 - B 279720E2 192666. Later pressings show extended codes (279720E1 1913465 with 43742.1, or 279720E2 1915283 with 43741.2 PHD), all stamped through GZ. The runouts are stamped via GZ stamper number; the remainder is etched.
