When was Reflections first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1985, in UK, US, Germany, Netherlands and more. One of them is Record Shack Records SOHOT 53.
How do I tell if my copy of Reflections is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SOHOT 53, SOHORT 53, SOHO 53, RSD-6955) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SOHOT 53 A2 Noel and SOHOT - 53-B1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Reflections 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.
