The earliest pressings are from 1978, in UK, Australia, Bolivia, Europe and more. One of them is Warwick Records PR5054.
How do I tell if my copy of Disco Gold is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PR5054, ELPS 3945, 20174, EPC 83203) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PR-5054-A1 and PR-5054-B1 tone. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Disco Gold 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.
