Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Blues are there?

When was Blues first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1971, in Poland. One of them is Polskie Nagrania Muza XL 0721.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use XL 0721) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, S3XW 1493 AC and S3XW 1494 AC. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Blues 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.
