Questions

How many vinyl pressings of GP are there?

42 vinyl pressings of GP are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1973 and 2019.

When was GP first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1973, in US, UK, Canada, Netherlands and more. One of them is Reprise Records MS 2123.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MS 2123, K 44228, REP 44228, RS 2123) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 31528-1-1 | T and 31529-1-2 | T. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is GP 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.
