How many vinyl pressings of Spooky are there?

When was Spooky first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in US, Australia, Brazil, Canada and more. One of them is Imperial LP-12371.
How do I tell if my copy of Spooky is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LP-12371, LP-9371, SLS-96097, SIRL 932837) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LP 12371 SIDE 1 1 A3 I and LP 12371 SIDE 2 1 I A4. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Spooky 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.
