Vinyl pressings
by Larry Santos · 1976
You Are Everything I Need was first pressed on vinyl in 1976. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
10 pressings came out in 1976, the album's first year, in 8 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

11 vinyl pressings of You Are Everything I Need are listed here, from 8 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in US, UK, Australia, Brazil and more. One of them is Casablanca NBLP 7030.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use NBLP 7030, CBC 4013, CBLP 9111, NBLP 7030-V) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, NBLP-7030-A-8-CTH Az T1 and NBLP-7030-B3-CSM Az A 7 2 5. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
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.
