Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Fireworks are there?
45 vinyl pressings of Fireworks are listed here, from 21 countries, released between 1970 and 1986.
When was Fireworks first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1970, in US, UK, Italy, Japan and more. One of them is RCA Victor LSP-4370.
How do I tell if my copy of Fireworks is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LSP-4370, SF 8124, LSP 4370, SHP-6132) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ZPRS-8181 and ZPRS-8182. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Fireworks 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.
