How many vinyl pressings of Magazine are there?

When was Magazine first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1977, in US, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands and more. One of them is Mushroom Records MRS-5008, released September 1977.
How do I tell if my copy of Magazine is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MRS-5008, 4 C 064-60008, 1C 064-60 008, SPARTY 1024) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MRS-5008-A ① JH KENDUN PRC-W-1 - This Is It - and MRS-5008-B ① JH KENDUN "A" PRC-W-1 - At Last -. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Magazine 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.
