Vinyl pressings
by The Beatles · 1969
Abbey Road was first pressed on vinyl in 1969. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
151 pressings came out in 1969, the album's first year, in 34 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.

606 vinyl pressings of Abbey Road are listed here, from 57 countries, released between 1969 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 1969, in UK, US, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is Apple Records PCS 7088, released September 26, 1969.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PCS 7088, PPCS 7088, SO-383) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, YEX 749-2 and YEX 750-1. 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.
