Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Black Satin are there?

When was Black Satin first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1957, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Capitol Records T858, released August 1957.

How do I tell if my copy of Black Satin is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use T858, T 858, T. 858) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Black Satin on vinyl worth?
