The earliest pressings are from 1969, in US, UK, Argentina, Germany and more. One of them is Buddah Records BDS 5031, released February 1969.
How do I tell if my copy of Sunrise is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BDS 5031, 203 021, 62005, YS-2170-DA) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BDS 5031A-3 Bell Sound and BDS 5031B-3 Bell Sound. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Sunrise 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.
