When was QR III first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1986, in US, UK, Greece, Japan and more. One of them is Pasha OZ 40321.
How do I tell if my copy of QR III is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use OZ 40321, Z 40321, 12, EPC26945) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PAL 40321-1C FUTURE DISC GI B2 and PBL-40321 1G GI B5. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is QR III 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.
