Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Yeti are there?

When was Yeti first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1987, in Italy, Europe, Greece, Netherlands and more. One of them is Discomagic Records MIX 310.
How do I tell if my copy of Yeti is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MIX 310, 609 086, 109 086, SR 8544) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MIX - 310 A and MIX 310 B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Yeti 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.
