How do I tell if my copy of Peter is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BS 2599, K 46150, BS-2599, WBLP-5.004) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BS-2599-A#40085-RE-1 1G and BS-2599(8 etched out) 40086-RE 1-IG.

How much is Peter 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.
