Questions
How many vinyl pressings of High Voltage are there?
147 vinyl pressings of High Voltage are listed here, from 24 countries, released between 1976 and 2024.
When was High Voltage first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in Germany, UK, US, Belgium and more. One of them is Atlantic ATL 50 257.
How do I tell if my copy of High Voltage is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ATL 50 257, K 50257, SD 36-142, K50257) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, WEA 50257-A PF and WEA 50257-B PF. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is High Voltage 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.
