Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Naturally are there?

107 vinyl pressings of Naturally are listed here, from 18 countries, released between 1971 and 2011.

When was Naturally first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1971, in US, Australia, Netherlands. One of them is Shelter Records SW 8908.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SW 8908, SW 88908, SHE-712, 6369 106) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SW-1-8908-F3 -◁ and SW-2-8908-F3 -◁. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Naturally 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.
