Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Christmas are there?
18 vinyl pressings of Christmas are listed here, from 2 countries, released between 2004 and 2012.
When was Christmas first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 2004, in Sweden. One of them is Trust No One Recordings Trustno 20, released October 2004.
How do I tell if my copy of Christmas is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use Trustno 20, TRUSTNO20) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, Trust 020 A and Trust 020 B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Christmas 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.
