Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Reflections are there?
24 vinyl pressings of Reflections are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1976 and 2026.
When was Reflections first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Round Records RX-107.
How do I tell if my copy of Reflections is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RX-107, RX-LA565-G, UAG 29921, L 35812) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RXLA 565 1-1D 1T and RXLA 565 2-1D 1T. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Reflections 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.
