Vinyl pressings
by Steve Winwood · 1990
One And Only Man was first pressed on vinyl in 1990. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
14 pressings came out in 1990, the album's first year, in 7 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

15 vinyl pressings of One And Only Man are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1990 and 1991.
The earliest pressings are from 1990, in UK, US, Germany, Australasia and more. One of them is Virgin VS 1299.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use VS 1299, VST 1299, VSDJ 1299, 7-98892) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, VS 1299 A-1U-1- Q2 D and VS 1299 B-1U-1-Q2 D. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
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.
