About this record

Look for MPO stamped in the dead wax: this 2017 European repress carries matrix codes like 'DGC 24727 A 0720642472712 A2 A GCLBEL MPO 83', marking it as a 180-gram reissue distinct from the original 1998 UK Simply Vinyl pressing. The barcode 0720642472712 and 'Back To Black' series designation confirm the Geffen remaster, not the 1993 studio master.

What drives its value

Condition drives the market here: a Mint copy commands 122.75 USD, while a VG+ drops to 83.99 USD and a VG settles at 58.15 USD. The lowest asking price across 131 active listings sits at 19.14 USD, reflecting the glut of copies in worn condition.

Against the 1998 Simply Vinyl original, this 2017 repress trades on accessibility and weight (180g vinyl, remastered audio) rather than rarity—41,997 collectors own one, yet 4,469 still want it, signaling steady collector demand despite high supply. The wide M-to-VG spread (122.75 to 58.15 USD) underscores that near-mint examples command a premium in a crowded field.

How to appraise this pressing

Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number 0720642472712 on the sleeve and barcode. Inspect the dead wax on both sides: Side A should read 'DGC 24727 A 0720642472712 A2 A GCLBEL MPO' followed by a two-digit number (52 or 83 recorded), while Side B reads 'DGC 24727 B 0720642472712 B2 MPO' with a number (82 or 99) and either '3CLDEN' or 'A GOLDEN' stamped (not etched).

The MPO plant code and barcode are definitive. Grade by examining the 180g vinyl surface under light: hairline scratches in the grooves drop a Mint copy to NM; light play wear moves it to VG+; audible surface noise during playback indicates VG or lower.

The included MP3 voucher (if present and unused) supports a higher grade claim.

Frequently asked

How do I tell this 2017 repress from the original 1993 pressing?

The original was recorded November 18, 1993, at Sony Studios, New York, but never pressed that year. The first vinyl release came in 1998 on Simply Vinyl (UK, catalogue SVLP053PD). This 2017 Geffen reissue carries the barcode 0720642472712 and matrix codes stamped 'MPO' (Musicales Polyphoniques, France), plus 'Back To Black' series labeling on the sleeve. The 180g weight and remaster are also exclusive to this 2017 version.

What is a VG+ copy worth right now?

According to the price guide, a VG+ graded copy is valued at 83.99 USD. This estimate reflects the market as recorded in the guide; actual sales may vary, and the lowest asking price across all listings is currently 19.14 USD, so negotiation or patience can yield lower street prices.

Why is there such a big price gap between Mint and VG copies?

A Mint copy is priced at 122.75 USD versus 58.15 USD for VG—a significant spread. This reflects collector preference for unplayed or near-unplayed vinyl in a reissue market where 131 copies are for sale and 41,997 people already own one. Wear is visible and audible on VG stock, making pristine examples scarce relative to played copies.

Should I buy this or hunt for the 1998 Simply Vinyl original?

The 1998 Simply Vinyl pressing (SVLP053PD, UK) is the true first pressing and commands collector premiums for that status. This 2017 reissue offers 180g vinyl, remastered audio, and an MP3 download voucher at a lower entry price. If you want the album to play, this repress is the practical choice; if you want the historical first pressing, seek the Simply Vinyl edition.

What does the 'Back To Black' label mean?

Back To Black is Geffen's vinyl reissue series that remastered classic albums and pressed them on 180g vinyl for the collector market. This 2017 Nirvana reissue is part of that series, as noted in the release documentation. It signals a deliberate remaster and premium pressing, not a casual restock.
