Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Pet Sounds are there?

179 vinyl pressings of Pet Sounds are listed here, from 30 countries, released between 1966 and 2026.

When was Pet Sounds first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1966, in US, UK, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is Capitol Records DT 2458, released May 16, 1966.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DT 2458, T 2458, DT-2458, ST 2458) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DT1-2458-A17 and DT-2-2458-A-13. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Pet Sounds 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.
