How many vinyl pressings of Magic Fly are there?

When was Magic Fly first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1977, in France, UK, US, Austria and more. One of them is Vogue LDA 20276.

How do I tell if my copy of Magic Fly is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LDA 20276, NSPL 28232, UA-LA780-G, 25 150 OT) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LDA 20276 A2 M.P.P.V. and LDA 20276 B2 M.P.P.V.. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Magic Fly 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.
