Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Rocka Rolla are there?

74 vinyl pressings of Rocka Rolla are listed here, from 18 countries, released between 1974 and 2025.

When was Rocka Rolla first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1974, in UK, Australia, France, Germany and more. One of them is Gull GULP.1005.

How do I tell if my copy of Rocka Rolla is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use GULP.1005, GULP 1005, 2933 703, GULP 22000) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XZAL.13291.P-3W and XZAL.13292.P-1W. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Rocka Rolla 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.
