Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Reverie are there?

12 vinyl pressings of Reverie are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1959 and 1962.

When was Reverie first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1959, in US, UK, Netherlands. One of them is Columbia CS 8074.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CS 8074, CL 1256, BBL 7337, SBBL 546) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XSM44563-1AG TΛIII and CSM44564-1BA TBI. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Reverie 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.
