Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Virtuoso are there?
34 vinyl pressings of Virtuoso are listed here, from 15 countries, released between 1974 and 2025.
When was Virtuoso first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1974, in US, UK, Japan, Chile and more. One of them is Pablo Records 2310 708.
How do I tell if my copy of Virtuoso is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2310 708, 2310-708, MW 2097, 2310 708 A) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PP 1025 and PP 1026. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Virtuoso 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.
