Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Winds Of Change are there?

When was Winds Of Change first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is MGM Records SE-4484.
How do I tell if my copy of Winds Of Change is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SE-4484, E-4484, SE 4484, E4484) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SE-4484 SiDE-1 MGS-1050 and SE-4484 SiDE-2 MGS-1051. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Winds Of Change 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.
