Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Anyway are there?

When was Anyway first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1970, in UK, France, Germany, Greece. One of them is Reprise Records RSX 9005, released November 1970.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RSX 9005, SRV 6120, RS 9005, RS 0315, 9005) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RSX - 9005 - A - 1 K-5402-A1 and RSX - 9005 - B - 1 K-5402-B1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Anyway 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.
