Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Nicola are there?

13 vinyl pressings of Nicola are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1967 and 2016.

When was Nicola first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1967, in UK, New Zealand. One of them is Transatlantic Records TRA 157, released July 1967.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TRA 157) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ES TRA 157 A1 and ES TRA 157 B1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Nicola 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.
