Vinyl pressings
by Ron van den Beuken · 2003
Timeless was first pressed on vinyl in 2003. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
10 pressings came out in 2003, the album's first year, in 3 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

14 vinyl pressings of Timeless are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 2003 and 2004.
The earliest pressings are from 2003, in Netherlands, Germany, Spain. One of them is Liquid Recordings LQ 034.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LQ 034, LQ034R, LQ034, K349) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 08 52016 20 1A1 LQ 034 W and 08 52016 20 1B1 LQ 034 W. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
It depends on which pressing you have and on the condition of the record and its sleeve. Early pressings from the album's home country in near mint condition are usually worth the most; common later reissues are worth far less. Scan your copy with VinylLens to see its value for every grade.
