Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Caught Up are there?
36 vinyl pressings of Caught Up are listed here, from 16 countries, released between 1974 and 2020.
When was Caught Up first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1974, in US, UK, Brazil, Canada and more. One of them is Spring Records SPR-6703, released October 1974.
How do I tell if my copy of Caught Up is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SPR-6703, SPR 6703, 2391 147, 2391147) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 22 SPR-6703-AS-REV-1 STERLING RL and 22 SPR-6703-BS-REV-1 STERLING RL. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Caught Up 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.
