Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Soy are there?

34 vinyl pressings of Soy are listed here, from 19 countries, released between 1973 and 1983.

When was Soy first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1973, in Spain, Argentina, Belgium, Costa Rica and more. One of them is Columbia TXS 3013.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TXS 3013, AL-16, ACS-16, 19334) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ESS 1014 and ESS 1015. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Soy 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.
