Questions
How many vinyl pressings of You are there?
11 vinyl pressings of You are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1987 and 2017.
When was You first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1987, in Benelux, France, Germany, Greece and more. One of them is Cramboy CBOY 9090.
How do I tell if my copy of You is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CBOY 9090, ATT 54, NORMAL 53, 30032) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, C BO 9090-A 61249 2 and C BO 9090-B 61250 2 IS THIS THE END OF THE BOXMAN? I DON'T THINK SO!. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is You 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.
