Questions

How many vinyl pressings of A Night On The Town are there?

When was A Night On The Town first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1976, in UK, US, Australia, Belgium and more. One of them is Riva RVLP 1.

How do I tell if my copy of A Night On The Town is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RVLP 1, RVLP1, BS 2938, BSK 3116) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RIVLP-1 A2 SLOW and RIVLP-1 B1 FAST. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is A Night On The Town 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.
