Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Oye are there?

When was Oye first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1998, in UK, US, Spain, Europe and more. One of them is Epic XPR 3265.
How do I tell if my copy of Oye is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use XPR 3265, XPR 3269, EAS 41403, AED 79030) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XPR-3265-A and XPR-3265-B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Oye 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.
