Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Cliff are there?

32 vinyl pressings of Cliff are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1959 and 2019.

When was Cliff first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1959, in UK, Brazil, France, New Zealand and more. One of them is Columbia 33SX 1147.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 33SX 1147, MOFB - 84, FPX 185, 33MSX 1147) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XAX 1633-2N R G 1 2 and XAX 1634-2N G P 1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Cliff 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.
