When was Michelle first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1966, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Dot Records DLP 3679.
How do I tell if my copy of Michelle is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DLP 3679, DLP 25679, ZL-31,872, DLP 3679(C)) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LPM 56.285 and LPM 56.286. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Michelle 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.
