Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Airconditioning are there?

51 vinyl pressings of Airconditioning are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1970 and 2025.

When was Airconditioning first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1970, in UK, US, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Warner Bros. Records WSX 3012.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use WSX 3012, WS 3012, WS 1903, HWBS 321-11) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, WS 3012 A and WS 3012 B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Airconditioning 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.
