Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Barrett are there?

48 vinyl pressings of Barrett are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1970 and 2014.

When was Barrett first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1970, in UK, France. One of them is Harvest SHSP 4007, released November 1970.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SHSP 4007, 2 C 062 - 04592) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SHSP 4007 A-1G T 1 and SHSP 4007 B-1G G 1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Barrett 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.
