Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Modern Art are there?
36 vinyl pressings of Modern Art are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1958 and 2026.
When was Modern Art first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1958, in US, Argentina, Canada. One of them is United Artists Records UAL-4007.
How do I tell if my copy of Modern Art is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use UAL-4007, UAS 5007, UAL 4007) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, JO9P-1841-1 and JO9P-1842-1B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Modern Art 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.
