The earliest pressings are from 1988, in UK, Japan, Australia, France and more. One of them is PWL Records HF 2, released April 18, 1988.
How do I tell if my copy of Mandy is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use HF 2, ALI-28097, LIB 5161, 66.608) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, HF-2-A1 ✱ MAX. and HF-2-B1 ✱ MAX.. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Mandy 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.
