Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Requiem are there?
46 vinyl pressings of Requiem are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1964 and 2017.
When was Requiem first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in UK, US, Australia, Canada. One of them is His Master's Voice SAN 133-34.
How do I tell if my copy of Requiem is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SAN 133-34, SBL-3649, SB-3649, B-3649) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, YAX 1120-11G and YAX 1121-6. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Requiem 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.
