Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Natalie are there?

31 vinyl pressings of Natalie are listed here, from 20 countries, released between 1976 and 1977.

When was Natalie first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1976, in France, UK, US, Argentina and more. One of them is Capitol Records 2C 066-82.229.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2C 066-82.229, E-ST 11517, ST-11517, ST 11517) 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 Natalie 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.
