How many vinyl pressings of Delicious! are there?

When was Delicious! first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1958, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Jubilee 45-5330.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 45-5330, 5330, 45-HLJ 8674, PSP 1187) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, JB-11321-45-3 [lathe] and JB-11322-45-2#2 [lathe]. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Delicious! 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.
