Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Burn are there?
152 vinyl pressings of Burn are listed here, from 40 countries, released between 1974 and 2020.
When was Burn first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1974, in UK, US, France, Japan and more. One of them is Purple Records TPS 3505.
How do I tell if my copy of Burn is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TPS 3505, W 2766, 2 C 066 - 94837, P-8419W) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PORKY-MEL-TRISH TPS 3505 A-1U and PECKO TPS 3505 B-1U. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Burn 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.
