The earliest pressings are from 1976, in US, UK, Germany, France and more. One of them is Angel Records SCLX-3833.
How do I tell if my copy of Macbeth is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SCLX-3833, SLS 992, 1C 063-03 344 Q, 1C 157-02 805/07 Q) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SQ-1-37212 and SQ-1-37213. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Macbeth 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.
