About Rock Pressing Identification
Rock vinyl spans the most valuable records in existence — original UK pressings of The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and The Rolling Stones command extraordinary prices. The critical distinction is always pressing: a UK first pressing of Dark Side of the Moon with the solid blue triangle label can be worth 20x a later reissue. Our scanner reads label design, matrix etchings visible in the runout groove, and catalog number format to identify the specific pressing.
Key Labels
Most Valuable Pressings

How Identification Works
Upload a clear photo of the record label (the circular center of the record, not the sleeve). For valuable rock records, also photograph the runout groove area near the label edge to capture the matrix/catalog number etching. Our AI cross-references these against our pressing database.
