Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Orange are there?

15 vinyl pressings of Orange are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1972 and 1979.

When was Orange first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1972, in UK, Israel, Netherlands. One of them is CBS 64730.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 64730, S 64730) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, S 64730 A1 ⋀ and S 64730 B1 ⋀. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Orange 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.
