Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Paris are there?
77 vinyl pressings of Paris are listed here, from 31 countries, released between 1980 and 1991.
When was Paris first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1980, in Europe, UK, US, Argentina and more. One of them is A&M Records AMLM 66702.
How do I tell if my copy of Paris is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AMLM 66702, SP-6702, 120.113-14, L 70167/8) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 19-66702-1A-1 and 19-66702-1B-1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Paris 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.
