Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Showtime are there?

When was Showtime first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1990, in UK, US, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is Mute STUMM72, released March 19, 1990.
How do I tell if my copy of Showtime is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use STUMM72, GHS 24284, D 55.211, L30428) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, STUMM72 A1 PR-E C and STUMM72 B1 PR-E C. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Showtime 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.
