About this record
The matrix runout DIDX-824341 1 A01 through A05 on this 2012 CD mini-album identifies it as a Polydor/Interscope co-release for the US market, pressed under exclusive license agreements that split territorial rights between the two labels. Paradise arrived as an 8-track collection bridging Lana Del Rey's earlier work and the sound that would define Born to Die, her major-label debut the following year.
What drives its value
This 2012 mini-album sits in a narrow but active collector band: 2231 users own it against 1026 who want one, a want-to-have ratio that reflects its status as a pre-fame release now sought by completists. The CD format limits its collectible ceiling compared to vinyl pressings of the same era, yet the catalogue number B0017667-02 and dual-label licensing (Polydor UK, Interscope USA) make it a specific artifact of Del Rey's transition period.
Condition and packaging completeness drive secondary-market value more than rarity; the 8-track count and mini-album designation mean it commands less shelf space and attention than full-length releases, keeping it accessible to newer collectors while maintaining steady demand among those documenting her discography.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number B0017667-02 printed on the spine and back cover, paired with the dual copyright notice: '℗ & © 2012 Lana Del Rey, under exclusive license to Polydor (UK). Under exclusive license to Interscope Records in the USA.' The matrix runout on the inner ring of the disc will read one of four variants: DIDX-824341 1 A01, A02, A04, or A05—all legitimate pressings from the same manufacturing batch.
Check that the barcode is present and intact. The mini-album format means the jewel case and booklet are proportionally smaller than standard CD cases; verify all 8 tracks are listed in the correct order on the back insert.
Look for manufacturing defects (skips, layer separation) by playing through the final tracks, where CD delamination often first appears on 2012-era pressings.

Frequently asked
How do I know if I have the US or UK pressing?
Both the US and UK versions carry the same catalogue number B0017667-02 and share the dual-license copyright statement. The distinction lies in which label's logo appears more prominently on the spine—Interscope for US stock, Polydor for UK stock—but both were manufactured and distributed in 2012 under the territorial agreement noted in the release notes.
What do the matrix codes DIDX-824341 1 A01 through A05 mean?
These runout strings identify the specific manufacturing run and pressing plant. The DIDX prefix indicates a Japanese pressing plant (likely Disc Manufacturing Inc. or similar), while the sequential A01–A05 variants represent different batches or quality-control iterations from the same 2012 production window. All four variants are authentic.
Is this mini-album rarer than the standard Paradise EP?
The 2231 users who own this CD pressing and the 1026 who want one suggest it is moderately available in the secondary market. Its mini-album format and pre-fame release date mean it is less commonly encountered than Born to Die or later studio albums, but it is not scarce—it was a legitimate commercial release on two major labels.
What condition issues should I watch for?
CD delamination and layer separation are the primary risks on 2012-era pressings. Play the final two tracks to check for skips or audio dropout. Inspect the jewel case for cracks, especially at the hinge, and verify the booklet pages are not loose or torn. The barcode should be legible and not peeling.
Why does this release have both Polydor and Interscope on the label?
The release notes clarify that Polydor held exclusive licensing rights in the UK, while Interscope held them in the USA. This dual-label structure was common for international releases by artists signed to major conglomerates; the same master recordings were licensed to different subsidiaries for territorial distribution in 2012.
