Vinyl pressings
by Ron Carter · 1978
Peg Leg was first pressed on vinyl in 1978. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
9 pressings came out in 1978, the album's first year, in 6 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

10 vinyl pressings of Peg Leg are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1978 and 1991.
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in US, France, Germany, Italy and more. One of them is Milestone M-9082, released April 1978.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use M-9082, 9116, BLPS 19268, MSM 9082) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SXT M-9082-A-1B SX KENDUN-B JG A14 and T\ M-9082-B-1 KENDUN-A B3. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
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.
