Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Dignity are there?

When was Dignity first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1987, in UK, US, Australia, Portugal and more. One of them is CBS DEAC T1.
How do I tell if my copy of Dignity is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DEAC T1, DEAC 1, 38-07755, 650507 7) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DEACT-1-A.1 10H-0 DAMONT and DEAC T 1 B4 DAMONT DOCTOR FADER TY. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Dignity 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.
