Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Affection are there?

34 vinyl pressings of Affection are listed here, from 21 countries, released between 1989 and 2023.

When was Affection first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1989, in UK, US, UK & Europe, Argentina and more. One of them is Arista 210 379.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 210 379, TLP-90226, 66 770 9, 74050) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 210379·A4 and 210379·B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Affection 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.
