Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Toronto are there?

10 vinyl pressings of Toronto are listed here, from 5 countries.

When was Toronto first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1970, in Germany, Austria, Canada, France and more. One of them is Kuckuck 2375 002.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2375 002, AVRS 9260, 500.013, No 500 013) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Toronto 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.
