Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Twilight Zone are there?

When was Twilight Zone first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1992, in Benelux, UK, US, Italy and more. One of them is Byte Records BYTE 12008.
How do I tell if my copy of Twilight Zone is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BYTE 12008, BYTE 7008, PWLT 211, PWL 211) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BYTE 12008-A1 and BYTE 12008-B1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Twilight Zone on vinyl worth?
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.
