Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Behaviour are there?
16 vinyl pressings of Behaviour are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1985 and 2021.
When was Behaviour first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1985, in Canada, UK, US, Germany and more. One of them is Maze Records ML 8010.
How do I tell if my copy of Behaviour is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ML 8010, PRT 26579, BFR 40145, 825 840-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ML 8010 "A" and ML 8010 "B". Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Behaviour 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.
