The earliest pressings are from 1975, in UK, US, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Gull GULP 1010.
How do I tell if my copy of Psi-Fi is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use GULP 1010, JXS 7021, 9098-7021, 2933 705) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XZAL-13967.P-1W 1 B and XZAL-13968.P-1W 1 B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Psi-Fi 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.
