Questions

How many vinyl pressings of 5 are there?

23 vinyl pressings of 5 are listed here, from 4 countries, released between 1965 and 1982.

When was 5 first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1965, in France, Canada. One of them is Philips B 77.851 L.

How do I tell if my copy of 5 is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use B 77.851 L, 77.851 L) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 77.851 1L and 77.851 2L. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is 5 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.
