Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Goodbye are there?

105 vinyl pressings of Goodbye are listed here, from 23 countries, released between 1969 and 2019.

When was Goodbye first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1969, in UK, US, Canada, Mexico and more. One of them is Polydor 583 053, released March 1969.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 583 053, SD 7001, 543.024, 220109) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 583053 A//3 127 and 583053 B//3 115. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Goodbye 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.
