About this record
The runout matrix 97174E1/A stamped into the dead wax identifies this as a GZ Digital Media pressing rather than the German Vertigo or alternative European Interscope variants from 2012. Mastered at Metropolis Mastering in London and pressed on heavyweight vinyl with a gatefold and rounded-corner lyric insert, this UK & Europe release on Polydor carries catalogue number 2793424.
Demand is substantial: 6174 collectors want it against 29735 who own one, yet only 36 copies are listed for sale at any given time, signalling scarcity of clean stock.
What drives its value
The price gradient reflects condition sensitivity across this pressing. A Mint copy commands 65.78 USD, while NM drops to 58.86 USD—a steep early cliff.
VG+ sits at 45.01 USD, VG at 31.16 USD, and G+ at 17.31 USD. The current lowest asking price of 38.37 USD sits between VG+ and VG, suggesting most active listings are played copies.
The 36 copies for sale indicate tight inventory relative to the 6174 want-list entries. Among the three 2012 pressings (Vertigo Germany, Interscope Europe, and this Polydor UK & Europe), the GZ Digital Media plant pressing on Polydor is the most commonly held, with 29735 community members owning it, yet the want-to-have ratio remains elevated at roughly 1 to 5, typical of a debut album that moved volume but rarely surfaces in collectible condition.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the Polydor catalogue number 2793424 and barcode 00602527934242. The four-side matrix runout sequence—97174E1/A, 97174E2/A, 97174E3/A, 97174E4/A—all bear the GZ Digital Media watermark www.gzvinyl.com.
Hand-etched elements include 'A1', 'B1', 'JDavis Metrop', and 'JD' in the runouts; the remainder are laser-etched. The gatefold cover should be intact with the insert present and its corners rounded rather than square-cut.
All 15 tracks should play without skips. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light: Mint (65.78 USD) shows no visible marks; NM (58.86 USD) allows only light dust; VG+ (45.01 USD) permits light surface marks audible only on silent passages; VG (31.16 USD) shows visible marks and light background noise during play.
The heavyweight pressing resists warping; check for dish by laying it flat on a level surface.

Frequently asked
What is the pressing plant for this 2012 Polydor release?
GZ Digital Media, identified by the www.gzvinyl.com stamp in the runout matrix 97174E1/A and its three companion sides. This plant also pressed the alternative European Interscope variant (catalogue 00602537181223) released the same year.
How much is a VG+ copy worth?
The price guide values a VG+ copy at 45.01 USD. This grade allows light surface marks that do not significantly affect playback. The current lowest asking price across all 36 active listings is 38.37 USD, which typically indicates a VG or played copy rather than VG+.
What makes this pressing different from the German Vertigo version?
The Polydor UK & Europe pressing (catalogue 2793424) was mastered at Metropolis Mastering in London and pressed by GZ Digital Media. The German Vertigo variant (catalogue 06025 3718796 6) is a separate 2012 release. The Polydor pressing is far more common in the collector base, with 29735 community members owning it versus the Vertigo edition.
Why is a Mint copy so much more expensive than VG?
Mint copies (65.78 USD) show no visible marks, while VG copies (31.16 USD) display visible surface marks and light background noise during play. The 2012 pressing saw wide distribution, so played copies are plentiful, but unplayed stock is rare. The 6174 want-list entries against only 36 for-sale listings suggest collectors actively seek clean examples.
Does this pressing include the lyric insert?
Yes. The release includes an insert with lyrics and credits, and the insert corners are rounded rather than square-cut—a detail that distinguishes this pressing's production specifications. The gatefold cover is also present on all original pressings.
