Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Stardust are there?

When was Stardust first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1963, in US, Japan. One of them is Prestige PR 7268, released July 1963.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PR 7268, SMJ-7140) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PRLP-7268 A VAN GELDER and PRLP-7268 B VAN GELDER. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Stardust 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.
