Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Jabdah are there?

30 vinyl pressings of Jabdah are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1986 and 2023.

When was Jabdah first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1986, in Italy, Sweden, Canada, France and more. One of them is Memory Records MEMIX 047.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MEMIX 047, MEMIX 053, BB 8082, MXD 001X) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MEMIX 047 A MG and MEMIX 047 B MG. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Jabdah 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.
