by Blitz · 1982
Voice Of A Generation was first pressed on vinyl in 1982. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

41 vinyl pressings of Voice Of A Generation are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1982 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 1982, in UK, Finland, Germany, Japan and more. One of them is No Future Records PUNK 1, released November 6, 1982.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PUNK 1, PUNK1, INT 145.505, 35103-25) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PUNK-I-A LYN-12547-IUT UTOPIA and PUNK-I-B LYN-12548-IUT UTOPIA. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
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.
