Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Geography are there?
18 vinyl pressings of Geography are listed here, from 3 countries, released between 1982 and 2024.
When was Geography first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1982, in Belgium. One of them is New Dance ND006, released December 1982.
How do I tell if my copy of Geography is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ND006) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ND 006-A1 and ND 006-B1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Geography 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.
