Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Holiday are there?

74 vinyl pressings of Holiday are listed here, from 25 countries, released between 1974 and 2021.

When was Holiday first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1974, in Canada, US, UK, Australia and more. One of them is Warner Bros. Records W 2808.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use W 2808, K 56045, W4 2808, 3-01-404-047) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, S 40854 and S 40855. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Holiday 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.
