Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Ssssh. are there?

110 vinyl pressings of Ssssh. are listed here, from 20 countries, released between 1969 and 2025.

When was Ssssh. first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1969, in UK, US, Australia, Belgium and more. One of them is Deram SML 1052.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SML 1052, DML 1052, DES 18029, DES-18029) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XZAL-9083.P-3L and XZAL-9084.P-2L. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Ssssh. 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.
