Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Long Player are there?

When was Long Player first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1971, in UK, US, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Warner Bros. Records WS 3011, released February 1971.
How do I tell if my copy of Long Player is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use WS 3011, WS 1892, 46064, P-8058W) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, WS 3011 A1 H 1 and WS 3011 B1 K 1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Long Player 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.
