How VinylLens works

  1. 1

    Point at the label

    Center the record's label in the circle, or scan the cover or barcode. No typing, no catalog numbers to look up.

  2. 2

    Get the exact pressing

    Year, country, label and catalog number: the pressing you actually hold, not just the album. That is what sets the price.

  3. 3

    See its value by condition

    Grade the record and the sleeve separately, from Mint to Poor, and watch the value change with each grade.

Same album, very different price

A record's value depends on which pressing it is. An early pressing from the country the album was made in, with the right label and the right codes in the runout groove, can be worth many times a later reissue that looks almost the same.

The Dark Side Of The Moon alone has 671 vinyl pressings from 52 countries. Each album page lists every pressing with its label, catalog number and runout codes, and shows which ones came first. The app does the matching for you and adds the value for your copy's condition.
