How many vinyl pressings of Chance are there?

When was Chance first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in US, UK, Australia, Brazil and more. One of them is Warner Bros. Records BSK 3333.
How do I tell if my copy of Chance is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BSK 3333, K 56641, 36.116, QBS 3333) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BSK-1-3333-VW2-#1 0 and BSK-1-3333-VW1-#1 0. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Chance 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.
