by Paul Simon · 1975
Still Crazy After All These Years was first pressed on vinyl in 1975. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

93 vinyl pressings of Still Crazy After All These Years are listed here, from 26 countries, released between 1975 and 2023.
The earliest pressings are from 1975, in US, UK, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is Columbia PC 33540, released October 1975.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PC 33540, PCQ 33540, S 86001, 86001) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PAL 33540 -3J I2 1S STERLING and PBL 33540 -3G J4 T1 STERLING. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
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.
