Questions
How many vinyl pressings of High Energy are there?

When was High Energy first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1984, in Europe, UK, US, Argentina and more. One of them is Ariola 206 554.
How do I tell if my copy of High Energy is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 206 554, SOHOLP 4, VSD 79454, SLIN 3631) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DM 206554 A-1/84 S III and DM 206554 B-1/84 S II. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is High Energy 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.
