Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Blue Hawaii are there?

229 vinyl pressings of Blue Hawaii are listed here, from 33 countries, released between 1961 and 2026.

When was Blue Hawaii first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1961, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is RCA Victor LSP-2426, released October 1961.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LSP-2426, LPM-2426, RD-27238, RD.27238) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, M2 PY2998-2S A3 R R and M2 PY2999-6S B2 R R. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Blue Hawaii 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.
