Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Disraeli Gears are there?

205 vinyl pressings of Disraeli Gears are listed here, from 29 countries, released between 1967 and 2026.

When was Disraeli Gears first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1967, in UK, US, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Reaction 593 003, released November 2, 1967.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 593 003, 594 003, 593003, SD 33-232) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 593003 A ∇ 1 1 1 3 and 593003 B ∇ 1 1 1 6. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Disraeli Gears 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.
