Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Evita are there?

73 vinyl pressings of Evita are listed here, from 23 countries, released between 1976 and 2025.

When was Evita first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1976, in UK, US, Australia, Belgium and more. One of them is MCA Records MCX 503.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MCX 503, MCXS 503, 6641584, MCA2-11003) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MCXS 5031 A-3U DB LD 1 and MCXS 5031 B-5U DB-MASTER ROOM. GDM 1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Evita 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.
