Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Sally are there?

When was Sally first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1986, in UK, Australia, Europe, France and more. One of them is London Records LONX 90, released June 2, 1986.
How do I tell if my copy of Sally is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LONX 90, LON 90, LONDP 90, LS 1798) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LONX 90 A // 2∇4 20V and LONX 90 B // 1∇4 20 V. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Sally 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.
