Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Doolittle are there?
58 vinyl pressings of Doolittle are listed here, from 16 countries, released between 1989 and 2026.
When was Doolittle first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1989, in UK, US, Europe, Australia and more. One of them is 4AD CAD 905, released April 17, 1989.
How do I tell if my copy of Doolittle is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CAD 905, 60856-1, 9 60856-1, RTD 106) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MPO CAD 905 A1 JA and MPO CAD 905 B1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Doolittle 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.
