Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Jerusalem are there?
15 vinyl pressings of Jerusalem are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1973 and 2013.
When was Jerusalem first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1973, in UK, France, Germany, Italy and more. One of them is Manticore K 13503.
How do I tell if my copy of Jerusalem is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use K 13503, 13503, 13 072 AT, MAN 5402) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, K 13503 A2 and K 13503 B1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Jerusalem 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.
