Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Reunion are there?
13 vinyl pressings of Reunion are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1977 and 1984.
When was Reunion first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1977, in Germany, US, Australia, France and more. One of them is Bellaphon BBS 2534.
How do I tell if my copy of Reunion is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BBS 2534, F-9530, L 36328, 5969) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BBS 2534 A and BBS 2534 B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Reunion 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.
