Questions
How many vinyl pressings of 20 Hz are there?
27 vinyl pressings of 20 Hz are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1993 and 2021.
When was 20 Hz first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1993, in Belgium, France, Greece, Italy and more. One of them is Global Cuts GC 2.
How do I tell if my copy of 20 Hz is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use GC 2, GC7-2, TEST 0093, 590191) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TEST 0093 - A 1 and TEST 0093 - B 1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is 20 Hz 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.
