Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Hollywood are there?

46 vinyl pressings of Hollywood are listed here, from 17 countries, released between 1967 and 1981.

When was Hollywood first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1967, in UK, US, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Decca SKL 4887.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SKL 4887, LK.4887, PS 516, LL3516) 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 Hollywood 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.
