Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Tyr are there?
29 vinyl pressings of Tyr are listed here, from 15 countries, released between 1990 and 2024.
When was Tyr first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1990, in UK, Colombia, Europe, Argentina and more. One of them is I.R.S. Records EIRSACV 1038.
How do I tell if my copy of Tyr is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use EIRSACV 1038, EIRSA 1038, 11001322, 1C 064-24 1070 1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, EIRSAPD+1038+A MF ORLAKE and EIRSAPD+1038+B MF ORLAKE. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Tyr 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.
