Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Decade are there?

26 vinyl pressings of Decade are listed here, from 20 countries, released between 1989 and 1993.

When was Decade first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1989, in UK, US, Europe, Australasia and more. One of them is EMI DDX 10.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DDX 10, C1 93178, EMC 793178, 20071) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, D DDX 10 A-2-1-1 and D DDX 10 B-1U-1-2. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Decade 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.
