About this record
This US pressing of Red (Taylor's Version) was manufactured by Optimal Media GmbH in Germany, identifiable by the dead-wax matrix strings BL51941-01 and BL51942-01 stamped across its four sides. The catalogue number B0034423-01 distinguishes it from concurrent 2021 releases for Australia, Europe, and UK & US markets—all issued the same year on Republic Records but from different plants and with different catalogue assignments.
All four records ship on red vinyl in a gatefold with sequentially numbered tracks across the album's 30 songs.
What drives its value
Condition drives value sharply on this pressing: a Mint copy commands 118.40 USD, while a VG+ drops to 81.01 USD and a VG to 56.08 USD—a steep slide reflecting how the red vinyl and gatefold construction invite handling wear. The lowest asking price sits at 28.05 USD across 25 copies currently for sale, indicating a soft floor for played or damaged stock.
Community ownership is deep: 17199 collectors have this pressing against 2249 seeking it, a ratio suggesting ready availability but persistent demand. The US pressing (B0034423-01) competes directly with the Worldwide (B0034422-01), Australian, European, and UK & US variants all from 2021; the German pressing plant and red-vinyl format are shared across most variants, so catalogue number and matrix string are the primary identifiers for this specific edition.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number B0034423-01 printed on the spine and label. The four-sided dead-wax matrix—BL51941-01 A8 HL 3873167 T8, BL51941-01 B5 HL 3873167 S4, BL51942-01 C5 HL 3873168 SIV, and BL51942-01 D6 ST 3873168 -2—stamps each side and proves Optimal Media GmbH manufacture.
The gatefold houses two LPs per side in custom printed inner sleeves; all vinyl is red. A "Made in Germany" sticker appears on the rear shrink wrap.
Grade by inspecting the red vinyl surface under light for hairline scratches (common on colored vinyl), checking the gatefold seams and spine for creasing, and playing a few tracks to confirm no skips or distortion. The 30-track sequence should be numbered continuously across all four sides on both sleeve and label.

Frequently asked
How do I know if I have the US pressing versus the Worldwide or European version?
Check the catalogue number on the spine and label: US pressings carry B0034423-01 (this edition), while the Worldwide pressing is B0034422-01, the Australian is B003450402, and the European is 00602438737628. All were pressed in 2021 on Republic Records, so the catalogue number is the definitive marker. The dead-wax matrix strings (BL51941-01 and BL51942-01 on this US edition) also confirm the Optimal Media GmbH plant.
What is a VG+ copy of this pressing worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is estimated at 81.01 USD. This reflects light surface noise, minimal visible wear to the gatefold, and full playability. The estimate is a snapshot and may not reflect current market transactions; 25 copies are currently listed for sale, with the lowest asking price at 28.05 USD, suggesting some sellers price below the guide.
Why is the price spread so wide between Mint and Good condition?
Red vinyl is prone to visible scratches and scuffing even under light handling, and the gatefold construction—with four records and printed inner sleeves—accumulates wear quickly. A Mint copy at 118.40 USD must show no surface marks, flat gatefold seams, and pristine sleeves; a VG copy at 56.08 USD tolerates light scratches and minor creasing. Played or heavily handled copies drop to 31.16 USD (G+) or lower, reflecting the format's fragility.
Is the red vinyl original to this pressing, or was it added later?
Red vinyl is original to all 2021 pressings of Red (Taylor's Version), including this US edition. The release notes confirm all four records ship on red vinyl as part of the initial pressing. There is no standard black-vinyl version of this 2021 release.
How many copies are in circulation, and is this pressing rare?
Community data shows 17199 collectors own this pressing against 2249 seeking it, indicating it is not rare in absolute terms. However, 25 copies are currently for sale, a relatively small active inventory. The wide condition-based price range (from 6.23 USD in Poor condition to 118.40 USD in Mint) suggests most copies in the secondary market are played or damaged, making truly high-grade examples harder to find despite the large collector base.
