Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Scum are there?

37 vinyl pressings of Scum are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1987 and 2025.

When was Scum first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1987, in UK. One of them is Earache MOSH 3, released July 1, 1987.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MOSH 3) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MPO MOSH 3 A1 PENTHOUSE WHIRLWIND HULOCAST and MPO MOSH 3 B1 BUB IS GOD. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Scum 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.
