The earliest pressings are from 1958, in US, UK, Australia, Brazil and more. One of them is Dot Records DLP 3118.
How do I tell if my copy of Star Dust is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DLP 3118, DLP 25,118, DLP 25118, SAH-D6001) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, M 50,063 and M 50,064. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Star Dust 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.
