Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Reminiscing are there?

47 vinyl pressings of Reminiscing are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1963 and 1986.

When was Reminiscing first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1963, in US, UK, Germany, Australia and more. One of them is Coral CRL 57426.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CRL 57426, CRL 757426, LVA 9212, 97 025) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MG8766T2 I and MG8767T2 I. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Reminiscing 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.
