Vinyl pressings
by Neil Young · 1972
Harvest was first pressed on vinyl in 1972. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
78 pressings came out in 1972, the album's first year, in 28 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

301 vinyl pressings of Harvest are listed here, from 39 countries, released between 1972 and 2022.
The earliest pressings are from 1972, in US, UK, Netherlands, Japan and more. One of them is Reprise Records MS 2032, released February 1, 1972.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MS 2032, K 54005, 44131, P-8120R) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MS 2032 31176-1C and MS 2032 31177-2C. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
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.
