Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Easy are there?

When was Easy first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in UK, Australia, Brazil, France and more. One of them is Bronze BRON 522.
How do I tell if my copy of Easy is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BRON 522, L 37096, 200 932, BRO 2034) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BRON522 A//3∇E TH 1 1 2 TOWN HOUSE and BRON522 B//2∇E TH 1 1 5 TOWN HOUSE. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Easy 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.
