About this record
This 2024 Blue Note reissue of Hank Mobley's Workout bears the matrix stamp BNST 84080-A/B in the dead wax, identifying it as a Optimal Media GmbH pressing mastered from the original analog tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio. The release notes confirm the original session was recorded at Van Gelder Studio on March 26, 1961, but this vinyl was manufactured in the EU in 2024 under the UMe/Blue Note imprint.
What drives its value
The price spread on this reissue reflects strong collector demand relative to available stock. A Mint copy commands 39.56 USD, while a VG+ example sits at 27.06 USD—a meaningful drop that rewards patience in hunting better-graded copies.
The lowest asking price across the 57 copies currently for sale is 19.13 USD, placing entry-level access well below NM (35.39 USD). Community ownership is deep: 2141 collectors have it against 198 who want one, signaling this is a successful reissue with broad reach rather than a scarcity play.
As a 2024 reissue of a 1962 original, this pressing trades on accessibility and mastering quality rather than pressing rarity; the Optimal Media GmbH plant and Kevin Gray's remastering are the primary value drivers for buyers seeking a modern, clean version of the session.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number 5832034 (UMe/Blue Note co-release) or the alternate designations ST-84080 / BST 84080 (original Blue Note codes). The runout etchings are the surest identifier: look for BNST 84080-A on side one and BNST 84080-B on side two.
The longer matrix strings (5832034 1= BN04688-01 A1 006024 5832034 3-A KPG@CA for side A, with mirrored "1|" on side B) confirm Optimal Media GmbH as the pressing plant. The barcode is present.
Grading this reissue demands attention to the vinyl surface under bright light: the Cohearent Audio mastering and EU manufacturing mean few pressings show significant defects, so the gap between VG+ (27.06 USD) and VG (18.74 USD) often hinges on light surface marks rather than audible noise. Check the center label print clarity and the jacket spine for creasing or seam separation, both common wear points on reissues.

Frequently asked
How do I know this is the 2024 Optimal Media pressing and not an earlier Blue Note issue?
The runout matrix BNST 84080-A/B combined with the longer digital code string (5832034 1= BN04688-01 A1 006024 5832034 3-A KPG@CA) identifies this as the Optimal Media GmbH pressing. The release notes on the rear sleeve and label explicitly state '© 2024 Capitol Records, LLC. Made in the EU.' The original 1962 pressing would show different matrix codes and lack the Kevin Gray mastering credit on the hype sticker.
What should I expect to pay for a VG+ copy?
According to the price guide, a VG+ example is valued at 27.06 USD. This represents a significant savings from the Mint price of 39.56 USD, yet sits comfortably above the VG grade at 18.74 USD. With 57 copies currently for sale and a lowest asking price of 19.13 USD, market listings cluster near or slightly below guide value, suggesting realistic pricing for lightly played stock.
Is this reissue worth collecting if I already own an original 1962 pressing?
The appeal depends on your priorities. This 2024 pressing was mastered from the original analog tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio, offering a cleaned-up listening experience. The original 1962 pressing carries historical weight and may command higher value on the secondary market, but this reissue is engineered for fidelity and costs a fraction of what a Mint 1962 copy would fetch.
Why is the lowest price (19.13 USD) so far below the VG guide estimate (18.74 USD)?
The lowest asking price of 19.13 USD likely reflects a single aggressive seller or a copy graded below VG by the listing party. Price guides are estimates; actual market prices vary by seller urgency, exact condition assessment, and shipping costs. The 57 copies for sale suggest this reissue is not scarce, so competition among sellers can push individual listings below guide value.
What does the community rating tell me about this pressing?
The rating of 4.71 out of 5, based on 174 votes, indicates strong satisfaction among the 2141 collectors who own it. This high rating reflects approval of both the reissue quality and the Cohearent Audio mastering. The modest want count (198 against 2141 have) suggests most collectors who seek this title have already acquired it, typical of a successful, widely distributed reissue.
