Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Are You Experienced are there?

253 vinyl pressings of Are You Experienced are listed here, from 27 countries, released between 1967 and 2026.

When was Are You Experienced first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1967, in UK, US, Canada, Germany and more. One of them is Track Record 612 001, released May 12, 1967.

How do I tell if my copy of Are You Experienced is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 612 001, R 6261, RS 6261, 6261) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 612001 A ▽ 1 5 1 3 and 612001 B # ▽ 1 1 1 1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Are You Experienced 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.
