When was Showcase first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Coral CRL 57450.
How do I tell if my copy of Showcase is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CRL 57450, CRL 757450, LVA 9222, CL-31337) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MG 9222 T3 2 and MG 9223 T3 2. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Showcase 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.
