Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Shandi are there?

48 vinyl pressings of Shandi are listed here, from 26 countries.

When was Shandi first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1980, in Netherlands, US, Australia, Argentina and more. One of them is Casablanca 6000 436.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 6000 436, NB 2282, NB 2282 DJ, 6000 472) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 6000 436 1W 1 ℗ 1980 670 1 06 and 6000 436 2W 1 ℗ 1980 670 1 06. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Shandi 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.
