How many vinyl pressings of 1 are there?

When was 1 first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1955, in France, Germany. One of them is Philips 432.026 NE.

How do I tell if my copy of 1 is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 432.026 NE, 432.026 BE, 432 026 PE) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is 1 on vinyl worth?
