Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Speedway are there?

51 vinyl pressings of Speedway are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1968 and 2017.

When was Speedway first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1968, in US, UK, Japan, Australia and more. One of them is RCA Victor LSP-3989, released June 25, 1968.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LSP-3989, LPM-3989, RD-7957, SF-7957) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, WPRS-1036-2S A1 I and WPRS-1037-1S A1 I. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Speedway 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.
