Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Heavenly are there?

When was Heavenly first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1959, in US, Argentina, Canada. One of them is Columbia CS 8152, released August 10, 1959.
How do I tell if my copy of Heavenly is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CS 8152, CL 1351, 8254) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XSM47191-2BJ and XSM47192-2DA. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Heavenly 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.
