Questions
How many vinyl pressings of The Net are there?

When was The Net first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1983, in Australia, UK, US, Japan and more. One of them is Capitol Records ST.12273.
How do I tell if my copy of The Net is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ST.12273, EST 4001761, ST-12273, ST 512273) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ST1 122 73 DB and ST2 122 73 DB. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is The Net 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.
