The earliest pressings are from 1979, in France, Italy, Canada, Germany and more. One of them is Rockland Records 900.500.
How do I tell if my copy of Plasteroïd is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 900.500, 900 501, RKL 20.137, 2424 903) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RKL 20137 A JS1 and RKL 20137 B JS2. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Plasteroïd 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.
