When was You first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1973, in France, Italy. One of them is AMI Records 86 052.

How do I tell if my copy of You is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 86 052, 86.052, 86.068, M 7169) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is You on vinyl worth?
