Questions
How many vinyl pressings of The Kick Inside are there?

When was The Kick Inside first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in UK, US, Ireland, Japan and more. One of them is EMI YAX 5389, released January 12, 1978.
How do I tell if my copy of The Kick Inside is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use YAX 5389, EMC 3223, SW-11761, EMS-81042) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, YAX.5389 remember yourself ( hand etched) and YAX.5390. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is The Kick Inside 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.
