When was Guilty first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1983, in Canada, UK, US, Germany and more. One of them is Matra MA-023.
How do I tell if my copy of Guilty is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MA-023, 12MA-023R, 7MT-014, posp628) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SNB MA 023-A CRC and SNB MA 023-B2 CRC. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Guilty 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.
