Questions
How many vinyl pressings of The Man are there?

When was The Man first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in US, UK, Canada, Germany and more. One of them is RCA Victor LPM-3302.
How do I tell if my copy of The Man is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LPM-3302, LSP-3302, RD-7709, LPM 3302) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RPRM-5538 and RPRM-5539. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is The Man 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.
