Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Rough are there?

24 vinyl pressings of Rough are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1978 and 2025.

When was Rough first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1978, in US, UK, Germany, Australia and more. One of them is United Artists Records UA-LA919-H.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use UA-LA919-H, UAG 30211, 200 167, L 36790) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, UA-LA-919-1X KENDUN-A JG and UA-LA-919-2X KENDUN-A. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Rough 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.
