About this record
The 1991 US CD pressing of Ten carries multiple matrix variants stamped in the dead wax—1A ZK47857 24 B, 1A ZK47857 24 B1, 1A ZK47857 71 C2, and 1A ZK47857 76 C3—indicating production runs across Epic and Sony Music's Pitman plant. This original jewel-case edition includes the foldout poster insert and preserves the hidden track structure on "Black," where silence separates the main song from the untitled coda (sometimes called "Master/Slave") that extends the total runtime to 9:06 despite a printed duration of 6:30.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire market for this 1991 original: a Mint copy commands 19.67 USD, while NM drops to 17.60 USD, VG+ to 13.46 USD, and VG to 9.32 USD. The lowest asking price sits at 2.35 USD across 51 active listings, reflecting the glut of copies in circulation—9053 collectors own one against 2487 who still want it.
The reissue variants (2017 European and US editions, catalogue 88985376871) have not displaced the original's baseline value, but supply saturation means even Mint grades trade well below the NM threshold. Demand-to-have ratio (2487:9053) is the lowest pressure point; buyers hunting original pressings face a buyer's market dominated by played copies.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number ZK 47857 printed on the spine and disc label, paired with the barcode on the back insert. The dead-wax matrix will read one of four variants: 1A ZK47857 24 B, 1A ZK47857 24 B1, 1A ZK47857 71 C2, or 1A ZK47857 76 C3, each reflecting a different mastering or pressing session.
Pitman and Epic plant stamps may appear on the disc face. Grade by jewel-case integrity (hinge cracks are common), insert condition (the foldout poster creases easily), and disc surface (light hairlines are typical of played copies; deep scratches and skips drop value sharply below VG).
The hidden track structure—silence at 5:04, then resumption at 5:19—should play cleanly; if it skips or distorts, the disc has been compromised.

Frequently asked
What is a VG+ copy of this 1991 US pressing worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ specimen is valued at 13.46 USD. This is an estimate as of the guide's publication date and reflects the condition where light surface noise is audible but does not significantly impact playback, and the jewel case shows minor wear without hinge separation.
How do I tell this original 1991 pressing apart from the 2017 reissue?
The original carries catalogue number ZK 47857 on the spine and disc; the 2017 reissue is marked 88985376871. The original dead-wax matrix will read 1A ZK47857 followed by a variant suffix (24 B, 24 B1, 71 C2, or 76 C3). The 2017 reissue will have a different matrix code entirely. Check the spine and disc label before purchase.
Why is the lowest asking price so low compared to the Mint estimate?
The lowest price of 2.35 USD reflects heavily played or damaged copies at the bottom of the market. Mint copies are estimated at 19.67 USD, but 51 active listings include many in Poor or Fair condition, which trade at 1.03 USD and 2.07 USD respectively. Supply far exceeds demand (9053 have vs. 2487 want), so sellers price aggressively to move stock.
Does this CD include the hidden track?
Yes. Track 11 contains a hidden structure: the main song "Black" runs approximately 5:04 (track 11.1), followed by silence of about 15 seconds (track 11.2), then the untitled coda (track 11.3) at approximately 3:47. The printed duration is 6:30, but the actual total is 9:06. This structure is present on all original 1991 pressings.
What do the different matrix codes in the dead wax mean?
The four variants (1A ZK47857 24 B, 1A ZK47857 24 B1, 1A ZK47857 71 C2, 1A ZK47857 76 C3) indicate separate mastering sessions or pressing runs, likely from 1991 through the early repress cycles. Each represents a different manufacturing batch from Epic or Sony Music's Pitman plant. None is rarer or more valuable than the others; all are original 1991 US pressings.
