Vinyl pressings
by Frank Sinatra · 1967
The World We Knew was first pressed on vinyl in 1967. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
39 pressings came out in 1967, the album's first year, in 16 countries. 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.

67 vinyl pressings of The World We Knew are listed here, from 22 countries, released between 1967 and 2015.
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in US, UK, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is Reprise Records FS 1022, released August 1967.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use FS 1022, F 1022, RSLP 1022, RLP 1022) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, FS1022 A 1C C// T 30677 and 1022-B 1-K I D8 T 30678. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
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.
