Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Repeat Repeat are there?

When was Repeat Repeat first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1981, in UK, Australia, Europe, France and more. One of them is Virgin V 2214.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use V 2214, 204014, 204 014, VIL 12214) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TOWN HOUSE V-2214-A3 and TOWN HOUSE V-2214-B4. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Repeat Repeat 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.
