Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Trouble are there?

47 vinyl pressings of Trouble are listed here, from 17 countries, released between 1978 and 2022.

When was Trouble first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1978, in UK, US, Canada, France and more. One of them is EMI International INS 3022, released October 1978.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use INS 3022, UA-LA937-H, 2C 068 61740, 1C 064-61 740) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, INS 3022 A-2 2 GD and INS 3022 B-3 1 CD. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Trouble 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.
