The earliest pressings are from 1976, in US, UK, Australia, Brazil and more. One of them is Columbia PC 33952.
How do I tell if my copy of Second Childhood is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PC 33952, CBS 81162, SBP 234799, 137935) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PAL 33952-IA STERLING and PBL 33952-IF STERLING. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Second Childhood 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.
