Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Sugar are there?
44 vinyl pressings of Sugar are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1971 and 2024.
When was Sugar first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1971, in US, Jamaica, France, Australia and more. One of them is CTI Records CTI 6005, released February 1971.
How do I tell if my copy of Sugar is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CTI 6005, 6489008, SR 3310, AC-30.002) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RVG•87658•A• and RVG•87658•B•. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Sugar 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.
