How many vinyl pressings of Tjader are there?

When was Tjader first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1971, in US, Australia, Canada, Germany and more. One of them is Fantasy 8406.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 8406, UAS 29183, FANT-8406, SLYL-934181) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, F-2834 and F-2835. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Tjader 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.
