Vinyl pressings
by Giorgio Moroder · 1977

33 vinyl pressings of From Here To Eternity / Utopia are listed here, from 18 countries, released between 1977 and 1997.
The earliest pressings are from 1977, in Germany, UK, US, South Africa and more. One of them is Oasis 11 538 AT.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 11 538 AT, OASIS 1, NB 897, NB 897 DJ) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 11538 A-2/77S Made in Germany and 11538 B-2/77S Made in Germany. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
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.
