When was Pacific first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1989, in UK, US, Europe, Australia and more. One of them is ZTT ZANG 1, released November 6, 1989.
How do I tell if my copy of Pacific is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ZANG 1, ZANG 1T, ZANG 1 TX, ZANG-1-(T)) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ZANG+1+A4 ORLAKE and ZANG+1+B3 ORLAKE. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Pacific 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.
