Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Pyromania are there?

101 vinyl pressings of Pyromania are listed here, from 31 countries, released between 1983 and 2025.

When was Pyromania first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1983, in UK, US, Canada, Israel and more. One of them is Vertigo VERS 2, released February 28, 1983.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use VERS 2, 6359 119, 810 308-1 M-1, 422-810 308-1 M-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, VERS 2 A//2▽4̶2̶ 130 1 1 1 3 MASTERDISK IF YOUR GONNA BE A BEAR.. VERS 2- A - 2. and VERS 2 B//1▽130 1 1 12 BE A GRIZZLY VERS 2- B - 2. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Pyromania 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.
