Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Intuition are there?

17 vinyl pressings of Intuition are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1975 and 1990.

When was Intuition first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1975, in US, France, Japan, Netherlands and more. One of them is Fantasy F-9475.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use F-9475, 5985, LFJ-80036, FAC 9475) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, F 96475 A RE 2 X [eyes with eyebrows] and F 96475 B RE 2 [eyes with eyebrows]. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Intuition 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.
