About this record
This worldwide pressing of Red (Taylor's Version) was manufactured by Optimal Media GmbH in Germany, as confirmed by the matrix runout codes stamped into the dead wax on each side. The catalogue number B0034422-01 identifies the broadest distribution variant, pressed simultaneously for USA, Canada, and Europe—a single SKU that unified three major markets in 2021.
The release notes reveal a production quirk: side C's matrix shows 'C34HL' with the 3 crossed out, a detail that distinguishes this pressing from region-specific variants like the US-only B0034423-01 or the UK & US co-release B0034572-02.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire market for this pressing. A Mint copy commands 80.12 USD, while VG+ drops to 54.82 USD and VG settles at 37.95 USD—a steep slide reflecting how vinyl playback quality and visual appeal diverge on mass-market Taylor Swift reissues.
Currently 185 copies are listed for sale, with the lowest asking price at 17.4 USD, indicating heavy supply of worn or damaged stock. Against 45084 collectors who own this pressing, only 3982 want it, signaling saturation in the secondary market.
The worldwide distribution (USA, Canada, Europe) under a single catalogue number means no regional scarcity premium applies; value hinges entirely on the individual copy's grade and the buyer's tolerance for surface condition.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify this exact pressing by the catalogue number B0034422-01 printed on the spine and label. Confirm the Optimal Media GmbH pressing plant attribution by examining the matrix runout in the dead wax on each side: look for the stamped sequences beginning with 3873167 or 3873168, followed by BL51941 or BL51942, and ending with the side marker (A6, B4, C4, or D4) plus 'HL'.
The release notes mention an FBI warning on the US copies and a 'Made in Germany' sticker on some units—check the back cover and rear label for these markers. Side C's crossed-out '3' in 'C34HL' is a known production variant; if absent, the pressing may be from a different plant or region.
Grade by inspecting the vinyl surface under bright light for hairline scratches, paper scuffs on the jacket, and any warping; even light surface noise will drop a Mint copy into NM territory.

Frequently asked
Is this the original Red (Taylor's Version) pressing or a later reissue?
This is the original 2021 pressing. Republic Records released Red (Taylor's Version) simultaneously across multiple regions under different catalogue numbers in 2021. The B0034422-01 variant was the worldwide SKU for USA, Canada, and Europe. No later reissue of this specific catalogue number has been documented; all 2021 pressings are first editions.
What is a VG+ copy of this pressing worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 54.82 USD. This represents a record that shows light wear—minor surface marks visible under bright light, but no audible distortion during playback. The estimate reflects market data as of the guide's publication date; actual sales may vary based on jacket condition and local demand.
How do I tell this pressing apart from the US-only B0034423-01 or the UK & US B0034572-02?
Check the catalogue number on the spine and back label: B0034422-01 is the worldwide variant. The matrix runout codes in the dead wax will also differ slightly between pressings. The B0034422-01 pressing carries the Optimal Media GmbH plant code and the crossed-out '3' variant on side C noted in the release documentation. Regional pressings like B0034423-01 may have different matrix sequences or pressing plants.
Why is there such a big price drop from Mint to VG?
A Mint copy is valued at 80.12 USD while a VG copy is 37.95 USD. This steep decline reflects the reality of mass-market vinyl: most copies show visible wear within months of purchase, so truly Mint stock is rare. Collectors of Taylor Swift reissues often prioritize playability and visual presentation over investment grade, so even lightly played copies flood the market and depress value for anything less than NM condition.
What does the 'Made in Germany' sticker mean, and should I remove it?
The sticker indicates the pressing was manufactured by Optimal Media GmbH in Germany, which is already confirmed by the matrix runout. Some copies received this sticker on the back cover; others did not. Do not remove it—stickers that are part of the original packaging add authenticity and do not harm value. Peeling it off may damage the jacket and lower the grade.
