Vinyl pressings
by Foster & Allen · 1983
Maggie was first pressed on vinyl in 1983. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
9 pressings came out in 1983, the album's first year, in 7 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

10 vinyl pressings of Maggie are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1983 and 1987.
The earliest pressings are from 1983, in UK, Australia, Australia & New Zealand, Ireland and more. One of them is Ritz Records RITZLP 0012.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RITZLP 0012, POW 6057, VPL1 6749, CMLP 1010) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
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.
