Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Ernani are there?

13 vinyl pressings of Ernani are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1967 and 1982.

When was Ernani first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1967, in UK. One of them is RCA Victor Red Seal RE-5572-4.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RE-5572-4, SER 5572-4) 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 Ernani 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.
