When was Sylvie first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1963, in France, Portugal, Spain. One of them is Barclay 70 591.
How do I tell if my copy of Sylvie is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 70 591, BEP 700 085, SBGE 83120) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MP HBLY-70 591 A and MP HBLY-70 591 B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Sylvie 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.
