Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Rossini Overtures are there?

When was Rossini Overtures first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1959, in US, France, Canada, Germany and more. One of them is RCA Victor Red Seal LM 2318.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LM 2318, LSC-2318, 430.302, LM-2318-C) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, J2RP-7918 and J2RP-7919. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Rossini Overtures 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.
