Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Surrealistic Pillow are there?
153 vinyl pressings of Surrealistic Pillow are listed here, from 22 countries, released between 1967 and 2025.
When was Surrealistic Pillow first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in US, UK, Canada, South Africa and more. One of them is RCA Victor LPM 3766, released February 1967.
How do I tell if my copy of Surrealistic Pillow is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LPM 3766, LSP-3766, LSP 3766, LPM-3766) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TPRM-4892-1S H and TPRM-4893-1S H. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Surrealistic Pillow 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.
