Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Golden Piano Hits are there?

44 vinyl pressings of Golden Piano Hits are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1961 and 1981.

When was Golden Piano Hits first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1961, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is United Artists Ultra Audio WWS 8505.

How do I tell if my copy of Golden Piano Hits is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use WWS 8505, WWS-8505, WWR-3505, WW-7505) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, WWS U A S 8505 A-1 and WWS U A S 8505 B-1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Golden Piano Hits 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.
