When was Smack Up first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1962, in US, UK, Argentina, South Africa. One of them is Contemporary Records M3602.
How do I tell if my copy of Smack Up is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use M3602, S7602, LAC 12316, M3602 - MONO) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LKL 12 313 D2 and LKL 12 314 D2. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Smack Up 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.
