The earliest pressings are from 1973, in Spain, US, Italy, Argentina and more. One of them is RCA Victor LSP-10487.
How do I tell if my copy of Power is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LSP-10487, PES-015, SPL1-2000, DLSP 34176) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 850 3VPS 2019⚹1 F RAYS and 850 3VPS 2020⚹1 F. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Power 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.
