The earliest pressings are from 1987, in US, UK, Brazil, Germany and more. One of them is Varèse Sarabande STV 81330.
How do I tell if my copy of Robocop is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use STV 81330, TER 1146, 320009, CST 8028) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, STV 81330-A and STV 81330-B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Robocop 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.
