Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Jolene are there?

35 vinyl pressings of Jolene are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1974 and 2023.

When was Jolene first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1974, in US, UK, Australia, Australia & New Zealand and more. One of them is RCA Victor APL1-0473, released February 4, 1974.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use APL1-0473, AFL1-0473, SCD 499032) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, APL1-0473 A 2S and AP*L1-0473 B 2S. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Jolene 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.
