Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Gold are there?
12 vinyl pressings of Gold are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1975 and 1976.
When was Gold first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1975, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Private Stock PS 2001.
How do I tell if my copy of Gold is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PS 2001, PVLP 1006, PS 2001-V, EMS-80443) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PVT 2001-A and PVT 2001 (RE-1)-B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Gold 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.
