Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Aftermath are there?

310 vinyl pressings of Aftermath are listed here, from 36 countries, released between 1966 and 2023.

When was Aftermath first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1966, in UK, US, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is Decca SKL 4786, released April 1966.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SKL 4786, LK 4786, LL 3476, PS 476) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Aftermath 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.
