Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Headlines are there?

When was Headlines first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1982, in Australia, UK, US, Canada and more. One of them is Albert Productions APLP.054.
How do I tell if my copy of Headlines is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use APLP.054, APLP 054, ENVY 3001, ARE 37725) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, APLP 054 A and APLP 054 B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Headlines 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.
