Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Tideline are there?

When was Tideline first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1982, in UK, US, Europe, Germany and more. One of them is Windham Hill Records WHA 1021.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use WHA 1021, WH-1021, C-1021, WHS C-1021) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, WHA 1021 A. B and WHA 1021 B. B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Tideline 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.
