Questions

How many vinyl pressings of You are there?

When was You first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1975, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Atlantic SD 18151, released October 16, 1975.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SD 18151, K 50191, 50191, ATL 50 191) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ST-A-753463 PR and ST-A-753464 PR. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is You 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.
