Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Pride are there?

32 vinyl pressings of Pride are listed here, from 18 countries, released between 1983 and 1988.

When was Pride first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1983, in UK, US, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is Island Records ILPS 9720.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ILPS 9720, 90065-1, 7 90065-1, SUP-80.239) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Pride 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.
