Questions

How many vinyl pressings of J'Arrive are there?

40 vinyl pressings of J'Arrive are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1968 and 2004.

When was J'Arrive first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1968, in France, Spain. One of them is Barclay 80 373, released September 30, 1968.

How do I tell if my copy of J'Arrive is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 80 373, 90018, S-26.019) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, HXBLY 80373 A and HXBLY 80373 B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is J'Arrive 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.
