Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Mamma Mia are there?
70 vinyl pressings of Mamma Mia are listed here, from 27 countries, released between 1975 and 2025.
When was Mamma Mia first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1975, in Denmark, UK, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is Polar POS 1220.
How do I tell if my copy of Mamma Mia is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use POS 1220, S EPC 3790, 31A-2689, 102671) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, POS-1220-A and POS-1220-B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Mamma Mia 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.
