Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Marlene are there?

When was Marlene first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1963, in Scandinavia. One of them is His Master's Voice 7-EGS 280.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 7-EGS 280) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 7TSB-651-1 and 7TSB-652-1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
