Gotye's Making Mirrors 15th Anniversary 2LP comes out November 20, 2026 on colored vinyl for $39.99 to $45.99, depending on the retailer. One version, yellow and purple vinyl with a signed art card, is the one collectors are watching. No pressing number has been published, so there's no "how rare" figure. On eBay, presale copies sold for $61.30 to $111.49 (August to October), and used older pressings sold for $129.99 to $160 (checked November 2, 2026).
Short version: the retail price is low, the old pressings are expensive, and a new reissue usually pulls those prices down. Don't buy this expecting a quick double.
How much is the Gotye Making Mirrors 15th Anniversary vinyl?
Retail prices vary by store:
- Yellow and purple 2LP + signed art card: $39.99 at The Sound of Vinyl.
- Cream 2LP (unsigned): $39.99 at uDiscover Music and $45.99 at Waiting Room Records.
- Colored 2LP: $45.99 at Music Direct.
The signed item is a 12" x 12" art print, not a signed record, per the product description. It is pressed as a 45 RPM audiophile 2LP and includes the original booklet. Waiting Room lists the label as Republic and says pre-orders placed by November 6 should arrive by the November 20 street date. Gotye's own store links the vinyl reissue to an official pre-order page, and we couldn't confirm a price there.

November 20, 2026, per the retailers above. One international listing gives November 23 for its own market. The album first came out in 2011 and includes "Somebody That I Used to Know" (featuring Kimbra), per the retailer descriptions.
What Making Mirrors sells for on eBay
We checked eBay sold listings for "gotye making mirrors vinyl" on November 2, 2026:
- New 15th Anniversary presale copies: $61.30 (August 23, UK seller, duties included, free delivery) and $111.49 (September 2 and October 9, Italy seller, cream vinyl, plus $30.02 delivery and import fees).
- Used older pressings: $129.99 (August 30, 2023 pressing, NM, listed as /1000), $154 (August 20, 2012 first US pressing), $150 (October 4) and $160 (October 20).
- CDs: about $5 to $19, for context.
That's only seven vinyl sales, and the new copies were presale listings from overseas sellers. No signed art card edition has sold yet.
Why this matters for resale
- Low entry price. $40 is cheap next to the $130 to $160 old pressings.
- A big catalog song. The album's best-known track keeps casual fans searching for it.
- Signed art card. The signed edition is the version collectors are most likely to chase.
- Presale premiums. Early overseas listings sold above retail.
Risks and the case against
- No pressing number. Many stores carry it, so supply may be wide.
- Reissues cool old-pressing prices. The $130 to $160 used sales exist because no new copy did. Once US stores ship, that gap should close.
- The signature is on an art card. Not on the record or the sleeve.
- Gotye stopped making music years ago. Demand is nostalgic and narrow compared with current vinyl favorites.
- Fees and shipping. See our reseller fees guide; a $40 item loses a large share to fees and postage.
- Presale prices aren't a market. Two of the three new-copy sales were the same seller's cream listing.
Flip, hold or pass
This is analysis, not a promise.
- Flip: Only if you get the signed art card edition at $39.99 and early copies keep selling above $60 after fees. That's a small margin.
- Hold: If you're a fan. A 15th Anniversary edition with a signed print is a reasonable keepsake.
- Pass: On paying $100 or more for a presale from abroad. The retail price is $39.99 to $45.99 and US stock arrives November 20.
