Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Hearts are there?

64 vinyl pressings of Hearts are listed here, from 26 countries, released between 1975 and 2025.

When was Hearts first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1975, in US, UK, Australia, Brazil and more. One of them is Warner Bros. Records BS 2852.

How do I tell if my copy of Hearts is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BS 2852, BS4 2852, K56115, BS-2852) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, T1 S-41028-1-3 and T1 S-41029-1-3. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Hearts 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.
