Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Intakes are there?

When was Intakes first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1977, in Europe, UK, US, Australia and more. One of them is Epic EPC 81802.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use EPC 81802, PE 34420, ELPS 3856, KSF 2012) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PAL 34420 1-D Wally and EPC 01-81802-1A-1 MASTERED BY CAPITOL. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Intakes 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.
