FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. The first vinyl run in 1997 came in three colour variants of 500 copies each (red, blue and gold translucent). Later represses from 2008 onwards come in other colours.

Why is this edition sought after?
Four Minute Mile has been reissued many times – but the 1997 coloured first pressings are limited to 500 copies each and correspondingly scarce.

What does media NM- / sleeve VG+ mean?
The record is near mint, the sleeve shows light wear. Details on our Vinyl Grading page.
