Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Truth are there?

105 vinyl pressings of Truth are listed here, from 16 countries, released between 1968 and 2025.

When was Truth first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1968, in UK, US, Canada, Germany and more. One of them is Columbia SX 6293, released November 1968.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SX 6293, SCX 6293, BN 26413, SMC 74 499) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XAX 3706 - 1 and XAX 3707-1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Truth 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.
