The earliest pressings are from 1971, in US, Austria, Barbados, Germany and more. One of them is Reprise Records REP 1065.
How do I tell if my copy of Heart Of Gold is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use REP 1065, REP 14140, Fg 30170, REP (K) 002) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PTN0010 and L6936. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Heart Of Gold 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.
