How many vinyl pressings of If You Want Blood You've Got It are there?

142 vinyl pressings of If You Want Blood You've Got It are listed here, from 32 countries, released between 1978 and 2024.

When was If You Want Blood You've Got It first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1978, in Australia, UK, US, Netherlands and more. One of them is Albert Productions APLP.034, released November 27, 1978.

How do I tell if my copy of If You Want Blood You've Got It is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use APLP.034, Aplp-034, K 50532, SD 19212) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, APLP 034 A MAXICUT and APLP 034 B-2 MAXICUT. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is If You Want Blood You've Got It 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.
