The earliest pressings are from 1983, in UK, Germany, Greece. One of them is Headline Records HED 2, released November 1983.
How do I tell if my copy of Kolors is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use HED 2, HEDP 2, 6.25691 AO, SMB 40226) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, HED 2-A-1 A PORKY PRIME (horizontal S squiggle) and HE≡D .2 B2 V. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Kolors 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.
