Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Night Lights are there?
35 vinyl pressings of Night Lights are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1963 and 2024.
When was Night Lights first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1963, in US, UK, Japan, Netherlands and more. One of them is Philips PHM 200-108.
How do I tell if my copy of Night Lights is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PHM 200-108, PHS 600-108, BL 7597, SBL 7597) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PHM200108A M2 and PHM200108B M2. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Night Lights 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.
