Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Greatest Hits Vol. 1 are there?
109 vinyl pressings of Greatest Hits Vol. 1 are listed here, from 40 countries, released between 1979 and 2022.
When was Greatest Hits Vol. 1 first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in UK, US, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is Riva ROD TV 1.
How do I tell if my copy of Greatest Hits Vol. 1 is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ROD TV 1, RODTV 1, WB 56 744, HS 3373) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ROD TV 1A1 S1 EG ARUN and S3 ROD TV 1B2 EG. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Greatest Hits Vol. 1 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.
