How many vinyl pressings of Monster Movie are there?

When was Monster Movie first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1969, in Germany. One of them is Music Factory SRS 001, released August 1969.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SRS 001) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SRS 001 A and SRS 001 B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Monster Movie 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.
