When was Harlem Lady first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in UK, Belgium, France, Germany and more. One of them is Major Minor MM533.
How do I tell if my copy of Harlem Lady is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MM533, MM 533, MAM 506, 17 003) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MM 533 A1 and MM 533 B1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Harlem Lady 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.
