When was Phenomenon first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Liberty LST-7515.
How do I tell if my copy of Phenomenon is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LST-7515, LRP-3515, LBS83045, LBL 83045) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 1 LST 7515-1 LT and 1 LST-7515-2 K LT. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Phenomenon on vinyl worth?
