Vinyl pressings
by Gregg Allman · 1974
The Gregg Allman Tour was first pressed on vinyl in 1974. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
11 pressings came out in 1974, the album's first year, in 6 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

25 vinyl pressings of The Gregg Allman Tour are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1974 and 2019.
The earliest pressings are from 1974, in US, UK, Canada, France and more. One of them is Capricorn Records 2C 0141.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2C 0141, 2659 038, 2CA 0141, 87 500) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, S2 2C-0141 40892-2-B STERLING and S1 2C-0141 40893-2-B B3 STERLING. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
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.
