Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Goo are there?

45 vinyl pressings of Goo are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1990 and 2022.

When was Goo first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1990, in US, Australia, Europe, Yugoslavia and more. One of them is DGC DGC 24297.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DGC 24297, 7599-24297-1, LP-7-1 2 02832 0, LPNB 7006) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DGC-24297-A-SR1-DMM MASTERDISK DMM 1-1 EVERYTHING LOUDER THAN EVERYTHING ELSE and DGC-24297-B-SR1-DMM MASTERDISK DMM SP1-1 TIPPER FUCKS OZZIE. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Goo 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.
