Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Tapestry are there?

275 vinyl pressings of Tapestry are listed here, from 39 countries, released between 1971 and 2026.

When was Tapestry first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1971, in US, UK, Ecuador, Canada and more. One of them is Ode Records ODE SP 77009, released February 10, 1971.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ODE SP 77009, SP 77009, SP-77009, AMLS 2025) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ODE 77017 - P5 and ODE 77017 - P6. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Tapestry 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.
