How many vinyl pressings of Spellbound are there?

When was Spellbound first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1991, in US, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and more. One of them is Virgin 1P-8128.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 1P-8128, 119 427130 1, 427 130 1, 11001387) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ST-VR-1P8128A-SP and ST-VR-1P8128B-SP. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Spellbound 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.
