Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Tin Soldier are there?

When was Tin Soldier first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in UK, France, Japan, Australia and more. One of them is Immediate IM 062, released December 2, 1967.
How do I tell if my copy of Tin Soldier is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use IM 062, IM062, IMF 503, IR-1919) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, IM 062 1F and IM 062 2F. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Tin Soldier 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.
