Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Nevermind are there?

225 vinyl pressings of Nevermind are listed here, from 30 countries, released between 1991 and 2026.

When was Nevermind first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1991, in US, Mexico, Argentina, Bolivia and more. One of them is DGC DGC-24425, released September 24, 1991.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DGC-24425, DGC2-4425, DGC TLP 24425, TLP - 24425) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MASTERDISK DGC-24425-A-GL1 and DGC-24425-B-GL1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Nevermind 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.
