When was Bauhaus first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1988, in Italy, Australia, France, Germany and more. One of them is Media Records MR 519.
How do I tell if my copy of Bauhaus is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MR 519, INT 10794, COL 12-002, OTB 1352-6) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MR 519 A and MR 519 B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Bauhaus 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.
