How many vinyl pressings of Brasil are there?

When was Brasil first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1981, in Brazil, US, Australia & New Zealand, Israel and more. One of them is WEA BR 38.045.
How do I tell if my copy of Brasil is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BR 38.045, BSK 3613, 6328 382, 13198) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 38.045.A (TC) and 38.045.B (TC). Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Brasil 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.
