Questions
How many vinyl pressings of A Love Supreme are there?
176 vinyl pressings of A Love Supreme are listed here, from 17 countries, released between 1964 and 2025.
When was A Love Supreme first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in US, UK, Canada, France and more. One of them is Impulse! A-77, released January 1965.
How do I tell if my copy of A Love Supreme is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use A-77, AS-77, CSD 1605, CLP 1869) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AS-77·A LW VAN GELDER STEREO and AS-77·B VAN GELDER LW STEREO. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is A Love Supreme 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.
