The earliest pressings are from 1982, in UK, Italy, Japan. One of them is Rough Trade ROUGH 44, released May 1982.
How do I tell if my copy of Trance is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ROUGH 44, GILP 44, RTL-27) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ROUGH 44 A1 FOR NICKI…. MPO and ROUGH 44 B1 THANKS TO KEVIN.. MPO. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Trance 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.
