Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Shenandoah are there?

When was Shenandoah first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1977, in Sweden, Australia, Japan, Portugal and more. One of them is RCA PB 9027.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PB 9027, 102913, SS-3092, PB-9027) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, FSAW-2387-3 and FSAW- 2388-2. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Shenandoah 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.
