Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Orgasm are there?

When was Orgasm first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1970, in UK, France. One of them is Major Minor SMLP79, released May 1970.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SMLP79, SLVLX. 522) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SLP-079.A-2L SEL JT 1 D and SLP-079.B-2L SEL JT 1 U. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Orgasm 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.
