Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Mozambique are there?

When was Mozambique first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in US, UK, Europe, Germany and more. One of them is Columbia 3-10298, released February 1976.
How do I tell if my copy of Mozambique is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 3-10298, S CBS 4113, CBS 4113, CBS S 4113) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ZSS161124-2C T and ZSS161125-1G T. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Mozambique 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.
