Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Garcia are there?

When was Garcia first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1971, in UK. One of them is Warner Bros. Records K 46139.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use K 46139, K46139) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, K 46139 A1 and K 46139 B1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Garcia 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.
