About this record
This European picture disc limited edition carries four distinct matrix stamps—5923401 A-1-1 through D-1-1—pressed at Portal Space and etched with a hand-applied symbol in the dead wax, a detail that sets it apart from standard pressings. The catalogue number 592 3401 appears on the sleeve spine and back, while the full barcode variant 07243-592340-1-4 is stamped only on the vinyl itself.
Demand significantly outpaces supply: 1222 collectors want it against 3156 who own one, yet only 38 copies circulate for sale at any given time.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire market here. A Mint copy commands 218.50 USD, while a VG+ example trades at 149.50 USD and a VG copy at 103.50 USD—the steep drop reflects how picture disc surfaces degrade under play.
The lowest asking price sits at 71.2 USD, well below VG territory, indicating distressed stock. The want-to-have ratio of 1222 to 3156 suggests this 2003 EMI pressing remains desirable but not scarce enough to sustain premium pricing across all conditions.
Picture discs inherently suffer wear faster than standard black vinyl, so even lightly played copies slip quickly from NM (195.50 USD) into VG+ range. European pressings of Dance of Death are less sought than original UK releases, which moderates long-term appreciation despite the limited-edition designation.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number 592 3401 printed on the gatefold spine and back; the full barcode 07243-592340-1-4 appears stamped on the vinyl label or runout area only. The four runout strings—5923401 A-1-1, B-1-1, C-1-1, and D-1-1—are machine stamped; look for a lightly etched symbol (⚹) hand-applied in the dead wax as a secondary marker.
Portal Space is the pressing plant. The unlaminated gatefold sleeve with a die-cut thumb section on the inner card sleeves and a hype sticker applied directly to the front are standard for this release.
Grade the picture disc surface under bright light: any hairline scratches or loss of image clarity below the vinyl surface drops it from NM into VG+ or lower. The vinyl itself should be silent when played; any surface noise indicates VG or below.

Frequently asked
How do I tell this European pressing from other Dance of Death picture discs?
Check the runout: this pressing stamps 5923401 A-1-1, B-1-1, C-1-1, and D-1-1 in the dead wax. The catalogue number 592 3401 must appear on both the gatefold spine and the vinyl label or runout area. Portal Space is the pressing plant. An etched symbol (⚹) in the dead wax is a further marker. The unlaminated gatefold with a die-cut inner sleeve is also specific to this variant.
What is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ example is valued at 149.50 USD. However, the lowest asking price across all available copies is 71.2 USD, which suggests either distressed stock or lower-condition copies masquerading as higher grades. Use the 149.50 USD figure as a baseline for negotiation, but inspect the picture disc surface closely before committing.
Why is there such a big gap between Mint and VG prices?
Picture discs are inherently fragile: the printed image sits directly beneath the vinyl surface and degrades with every play. A Mint copy at 218.50 USD is essentially unplayed; a VG example at 103.50 USD has visible surface wear and possible light scratches that affect both playback and visual appeal. Even minor handling can shift a picture disc from NM (195.50 USD) to VG+ (149.50 USD), which is why condition grading is critical and why played copies command far less.
Is this a first pressing or a reissue?
This is the original 2003 EMI pressing for the European market, issued in a limited-edition picture disc format. It was recorded at Sarm Studios West in London and mastered at Metropolis Mastering. The copyright and manufacturing date (℗ 2003) confirm it is contemporaneous with the album's release, not a later reissue.
Should I buy at 71.2 USD if I find it?
The lowest asking price of 71.2 USD is significantly below VG territory (103.50 USD), which suggests the copy is likely in G+ (57.50 USD) or G (34.50 USD) condition. Inspect photos carefully for picture disc surface damage, scratches, and image clarity loss. If the seller cannot provide detailed condition shots, assume it is lower-grade and negotiate further or pass.
