Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Wonderland are there?

20 vinyl pressings of Wonderland are listed here, from 9 countries.

When was Wonderland first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1986, in UK, Australia, Canada, Europe and more. One of them is CBS YOUNG T1.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use YOUNG T1, YOUNG 1, YOUNG Q1, BA 3490) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, YOUNG-T-1-A1 TimTom and YOUNG-T-1-B2. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Wonderland 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.
