Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Qui ? are there?

31 vinyl pressings of Qui ? are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1963 and 1978.

When was Qui ? first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1963, in France, UK, US, Canada and more. One of them is Barclay 80 191.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 80 191, CEL 904, SR 60792, MG 20792) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, X BLY 80191 A and X BLY 80191 B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Qui ? 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.
