How to spot a first pressing of Hawaii
1 pressing came out in 1966, the album's first year. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Hawaii are there?
28 vinyl pressings of Hawaii are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1966 and 1979.
When was Hawaii first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1966, in Belgium. One of them is Decca PFS 4112.
How do I tell if my copy of Hawaii is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PFS 4112) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Hawaii 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.
