Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Pendulum are there?

136 vinyl pressings of Pendulum are listed here, from 42 countries, released between 1970 and 2025.

When was Pendulum first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1970, in US, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and more. One of them is Fantasy 8410, released December 7, 1970.

How do I tell if my copy of Pendulum is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 8410, FANT-8410, S-UA 20116, LBG 83400) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, F - 2818 H and F - 2819 H. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Pendulum 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.
