Vinyl pressings
by Teresa Brewer · 1973
Music, Music, Music / School Days was first pressed on vinyl in 1973. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
15 pressings came out in 1973, the album's first year, in 12 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 Music, Music, Music / School Days are listed here, from 12 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1973, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Flying Dutchman AM 85027.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AM 85027, AM 85027 DJ, AM 85027-DJ, 6073 706) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, I̶ A̶1̶ 64405-1 and I̶ A̶1̶ 64406-1. 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.
