The earliest pressings are from 1972, in UK, US, Canada, Ireland and more. One of them is Chrysalis CHS.2007.
How do I tell if my copy of Gaudete is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CHS.2007, CHS 2007, CHS 2008, CRS 2102) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CHS 2007 A-1U and CHS 2007 B-1U. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Gaudete 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.
