Questions

How many vinyl pressings of The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn are there?

227 vinyl pressings of The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn are listed here, from 32 countries, released between 1967 and 2025.

When was The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1967, in UK, US, Canada, South Africa and more. One of them is Columbia SX 6157, released August 4, 1967.

How do I tell if my copy of The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SX 6157, SCX 6157, PSCX 6157, T 5093) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XAX 3419-2 and XAX 3420-1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn 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.
