About this record
The Chab.☆ etchings stamped across all four runouts identify this as the original 2013 first pressing, cut at Translab, Paris by mastering engineer Chab and pressed by Optimal Media GmbH. The side D runout lacks the -30372- stamp that distinguishes the 2013 repress (catalogue 9216088), making dead-wax verification the fastest way to confirm you hold the genuine first issue rather than a later reissue or repress variant.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire market for this pressing. A Mint copy commands 105.35 USD, while a NM example sits at 94.26 USD; the gap widens sharply at VG+ (72.08 USD) and VG (49.90 USD), reflecting how wear accumulates on a 180-gram double LP.
The lowest asking price across 130 active listings is 27.82 USD, signalling heavy supply of played copies. Community ownership is deep—80488 collectors have it against 30046 who want one—yet the original 2013 first pressing retains premium over the 2021 reissue (catalogue 88883716861) and the 2023 reissue (catalogue 19658773731) because Chab's mastering and the Optimal pressing plant pressing are documented only on this variant.
The 8712 ratings averaging 4.61 reflect broad appeal, but scarcity of unplayed stock justifies the 105.35 USD Mint ceiling.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by examining all four runout etchings for the Chab.☆ signature. Side A reads AL88883716861-2 BD11929-01 A2 Chab.☆; side B reads BL88883716861-2 BD11929-01 B2 Chab☆; side C reads CL88883716861-2 BD11929-02 C2 Chab.☆; side D reads DL88883716861-2 Chab.☆ BD11929-02 D2 IF LOVE IS THE ANSWER YOU'RE HOME.
The absence of -30372- on side D rules out the 2013 repress. Check the spine and labels for catalogue 88883716861 (not the spaced variant 88883 71686 1 on the back cover).
The gatefold jacket includes an 8-page booklet and a digital download voucher. Sealed copies carry a hype sticker citing 180 gram double vinyl.
Grade by examining both records for hairline scratches, warp, and label condition; even light play drops value from 105.35 USD (Mint) to 94.26 USD (NM).

Frequently asked
How do I tell the 2013 first pressing from the 2013 repress?
The first pressing (this one) has Chab.☆ etchings on all four sides and no -30372- stamp on side D. The 2013 repress (catalogue 9216088) adds -30372- to the side D runout. Both share catalogue 88883716861, so the dead wax is your only guide.
What is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 72.08 USD. This represents a record with minimal surface noise and light handling marks visible only under direct light. The jump from VG (49.90 USD) to VG+ (72.08 USD) reflects collector preference for copies that play cleanly.
Why is the Chab mastering credit important?
Chab mastered the lacquer at Translab, Paris and his signature appears in the runout etchings only on the 2013 first pressing. Later reissues from 2017 onwards credit GOPHER or Ben. S & MPƵ as the lacquer cutter, making Chab's involvement a definitive marker of the original pressing.
Is there a big price difference between sealed and played copies?
Yes. A sealed Mint copy reaches 105.35 USD, but the lowest asking price across 130 listings is 27.82 USD, indicating most stock is heavily played. Even a VG copy (49.90 USD) commands less than half the Mint price, so condition is the entire value proposition here.
What distinguishes this from the 2021 and 2023 reissues?
All three share the same catalogue number 88883716861 on the spine and labels, but the 2021 reissue (also 88883716861) and 2023 reissue (catalogue 19658773731) were cut by different engineers and lack the Chab.☆ runout etchings. The 2013 first pressing is the only one with Chab's mastering credit in the dead wax.
