Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Sunday are there?

13 vinyl pressings of Sunday are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1971 and 1972.

When was Sunday first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1971, in UK, Netherlands, Denmark, France and more. One of them is Regal Zonophone RZ 3041.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RZ 3041, 5C 006-93 068, 2C 006-93068 M, 1C006-93 068) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 7YCAR 7005 and 7YCAR 7006. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Sunday 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.
