Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Vigil are there?

When was Vigil first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in UK, US, Germany, Lebanon and more. One of them is United Artists Records SULP 1193, released June 1968.
How do I tell if my copy of Vigil is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SULP 1193, ULP 1193, UAS 6667, UAS 69170 I) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SULP 1193 A-1 1 G and SULP 1193 B-1 1 G. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Vigil 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.
