Vinyl pressings
by Kissing The Pink · 1983
The Last Film was first pressed on vinyl in 1983. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

17 vinyl pressings of The Last Film are listed here, from 9 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1983, in UK, Australia, Europe, France and more. One of them is Magnet KTP3, released January 1983.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use KTP3, 12 KTP 3, KTP 3D, KTP 3) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, KTP 3 A1 DAMONT ƱTOPIA and KTP 3 B1 DAMONT. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
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.
