Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Chopin Waltzes are there?

When was Chopin Waltzes first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1960, in UK, US, Argentina, Australia. One of them is Columbia 33CX 1685.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 33CX 1685, SAX 2332, S 35726, 35726) 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 Chopin Waltzes 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.
