Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Eva are there?

10 vinyl pressings of Eva are listed here, from 3 countries, released between 1961 and 1980.

When was Eva first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1961, in Spain, Venezuela. One of them is Montilla FM-136.

How do I tell if my copy of Eva is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use FM-136) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, FM-136·A-I and FM-136.B-1S·.

How much is Eva 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.
