Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Turbo are there?

45 vinyl pressings of Turbo are listed here, from 24 countries, released between 1986 and 2017.

When was Turbo first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1986, in UK, US, Canada, Europe and more. One of them is CBS CBS 26641.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CBS 26641, C 40158, OC 40158, 28·3P-705) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CS 26641 A1 PAL 4158 and CS 26641 B1 PAL 4158. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Turbo 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.
