Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Warm are there?

When was Warm first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1957, in US, Brazil, Canada, Philippines. One of them is Columbia CL 1078.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CL 1078, LPCB 42001) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XLP42255-1AC TH III and XLP42256-1A TH. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Warm 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.
