Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Super Fly are there?
109 vinyl pressings of Super Fly are listed here, from 25 countries, released between 1972 and 2026.
When was Super Fly first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1972, in US, UK, Israel, Australia and more. One of them is Curtom CRS 8014 ST.
How do I tell if my copy of Super Fly is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CRS 8014 ST, CRS-8014-ST, CRS 8014-ST, SMAS-95716) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CRS-8014-ST-A3 Bell Sound sf ARP and CRS-8014-ST-B3 Bell Sound sf ARP. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Super Fly 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.
