When was Now! first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1982, in US, Australia, Canada, France and more. One of them is Prelude Records PRL 14103.
How do I tell if my copy of Now! is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PRL 14103, MLP 001, 723.630, EDI 60699) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PRL 14103 AS and PRL 14103 BS. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Now! 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.
