Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Paul Anka are there?
21 vinyl pressings of Paul Anka are listed here, from 15 countries.
When was Paul Anka first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1958, in US, UK, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is ABC-Paramount ABC-240.
How do I tell if my copy of Paul Anka is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ABC-240, 33SX 1092, AP 107, WG-BPN-643) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ABC 240-A LW and ABC 240 B N Z.. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Paul Anka 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.
