When was Sherry first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1975, in UK, US, Australia, Germany and more. One of them is Magnet MAG 34.
How do I tell if my copy of Sherry is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MAG 34, 8-50163, EMI-10903, 16 278 AT) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MAG 34 A1 and MAG 34 B1.

How much is Sherry 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.
