Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Us are there?
20 vinyl pressings of Us are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1974 and 2015.
When was Us first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1974, in US, UK, France, Germany and more. One of them is People PE 6601.
How do I tell if my copy of Us is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PE 6601, 2391 122, MP 2392) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PE-6601-A-1A K-6495 RL SON STERLING and PE-6601-B-1A K-6496 RL SON STERLING. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Us 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.
