Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Future Days are there?

When was Future Days first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1973, in Germany, UK, France, Italy. One of them is United Artists Records UAS 29 505 I, released October 17, 1973.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use UAS 29 505 I, UAS 29505) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, UA29505 A1 Made in Germany and UA29505 B1 Made in Germany. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Future Days 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.
