Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Physical Graffiti are there?
254 vinyl pressings of Physical Graffiti are listed here, from 40 countries, released between 1975 and 2025.
When was Physical Graffiti first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1975, in UK, US, France, Argentina and more. One of them is Swan Song SSK 89400, released February 24, 1975.
How do I tell if my copy of Physical Graffiti is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SSK 89400, SS 2-200, 2SS 200, ss-2-200) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SSK-89400-A1 and SSK-89400-B4. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Physical Graffiti 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.
