Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Lorraine are there?
17 vinyl pressings of Lorraine are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1980 and 1981.
When was Lorraine first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1980, in UK, Australia, France, Germany and more. One of them is Magnet MAG 181.
How do I tell if my copy of Lorraine is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MAG 181, 12 MAG 181, K-8166, 2097 873) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MAG 181-A1 and MAG 181-B1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Lorraine 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.
