Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Ignition are there?

When was Ignition first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1982, in UK, US, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Chrysalis CHR 1376.
How do I tell if my copy of Ignition is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CHR 1376, FV 41376, L37873, 204 791-320) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CHR 1376-A and CHR 1376-B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Ignition 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.
