The earliest pressings are from 1986, in UK, US, Canada, UK & Europe and more. One of them is Epic EPC 26770, released November 1986.
How do I tell if my copy of Infected is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use EPC 26770, BFE 40471, PEC 90746, 120.850) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 26770 A2 C 2 and 26770 B5 X B 2. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Infected 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.
