The earliest pressings are from 1973, in France, Austria, Canada, Germany and more. One of them is Disc'Az SG 446.
How do I tell if my copy of Manhattan is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SG 446, 12 729 AT, AA 1192, AZ 9024) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SG446 A and SG446 B.

How much is Manhattan 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.
