Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Oliver! are there?

When was Oliver! first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1960, in UK, Australia, New Zealand. One of them is Decca SKL4105.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SKL4105, LK 4359, SLKA 4105, LKM 4359) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ZAL 4862-3E and ZAL 4863-1E. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Oliver! 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.
