About this record
Record Industry pressed this 2017 European reissue with hand-etched runout matrices (89852 1A MOVLP 345 and 89852 1B MOVLP 345), replicating the Music On Vinyl 2011 pressing rather than sourcing from the original 1976 Columbia master. Some copies arrived with a hype sticker advertising a free download code and included download card—a marketing detail absent from the 2011 version.
This repress sits in a crowded market: 96 copies are currently for sale, yet only 112 collectors actively want it against 1382 who already own one.
What drives its value
The price spread on this pressing reflects its status as a late reissue in a well-documented catalog. A Mint copy commands 26.98 USD, while a VG+ drops to 18.46 USD and a VG settles at 12.78 USD—a steep condition curve typical of reissues where original pressings and earlier reissues compete.
The lowest asking price across 96 active listings is 10.45 USD, well below the VG guide estimate, signaling oversupply relative to collector demand. The want-to-have ratio (112 to 1382) confirms this: the record is common enough that most who seek it already own a copy, whether the 1976 original, the 2011 Music On Vinyl edition, or an earlier pressing.
European pressings of Dylan catalog reissues tend to trade below their US counterparts, and the hand-etched runouts—while authentic—do not command a premium over the 2011 source edition.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number 88985438181 (printed on the spine and back cover), the Columbia/Sony Music/Legacy label block, and the hand-etched runout strings 89852 1A MOVLP 345 (Side A) and 89852 1B MOVLP 345 (Side B), which identify Record Industry as the pressing plant. The barcode is present.
The rear jacket credits Mick Ronson on "Maggie's Farm" and notes the 2017 copyright alongside the original 1976 date; this copyright line distinguishes the repress from the 2011 Music On Vinyl version. Grading hinges on vinyl surface condition and jacket wear: check for hairline scratches in the deadwax (hand etching can trap dust), and assess jacket gloss, spine creasing, and whether the hype sticker or download card remain intact—their presence or absence does not alter the vinyl grade but signals original retail condition.
The 9-track Folk Rock program is standard across all pressings.

Frequently asked
How does this 2017 Record Industry pressing differ from the 2011 Music On Vinyl reissue?
Both share identical hand-etched runout matrices (89852 1A MOVLP 345 and 89852 1B MOVLP 345), meaning they were pressed from the same lacquer or metal stamper. The 2017 version added a hype sticker and download card to some copies as a promotional incentive; the 2011 edition did not. Both are European pressings sourced from the same master, not the original 1976 Columbia plates.
What is a VG+ copy of this pressing worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 18.46 USD. However, 96 copies are currently listed for sale, and the lowest asking price across all listings is 10.45 USD, indicating that actual market prices lag behind the guide estimate. Oversupply is the driver.
Why is the price so low compared to other Dylan reissues?
This pressing is a reissue of a reissue: it duplicates the 2011 Music On Vinyl edition rather than sourcing from the original 1976 master. Collectors prioritize earlier reissues and the original pressing, leaving this 2017 version with limited appeal. The want-to-have ratio (112 to 1382) confirms that most who own Dylan's Hard Rain already have a copy; the market is saturated.
What is a Mint copy worth, and how much does condition matter?
A Mint copy is priced at 26.98 USD, but a VG+ drops to 18.46 USD and a VG to 12.78 USD. The steep decline shows that condition is critical on this reissue: buyers expect near-perfect vinyl for the asking price, and any visible wear cuts value sharply. Scratches and surface noise are not tolerated on a 2017 pressing.
Should I buy this if I already own the 2011 Music On Vinyl version?
No. The runout matrices and pressing plant are identical, so the vinyl itself is the same. The only difference is the hype sticker and download card on some 2017 copies—a marketing gimmick, not an audio or pressing improvement. If you own the 2011 edition, this repress adds nothing.
