Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Zeit are there?

43 vinyl pressings of Zeit are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1972 and 2023.

When was Zeit first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1972, in Germany. One of them is Ohr OMM 2/56021, released August 1972.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use OMM 2/56021) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 1 ℗ 1972 C72 ♢G B 28 0664 139 S1 OMM 2 56 021 1A and 1 ℗ 1972 C72 ♢G A 1 28 0664 139 S2 OMM 2 56 021 1B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Zeit 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.
