Vinyl pressings
by The Marmalade · 1970
Reflections Of The Marmalade was first pressed on vinyl in 1970. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

31 vinyl pressings of Reflections Of The Marmalade are listed here, from 19 countries, released between 1970 and 1984.
The earliest pressings are from 1970, in UK, US, Australia, Brazil and more. One of them is Decca SKL 5047, released June 1970.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SKL 5047, LK 5047, PS 575, LLN 7186) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ZAL-9690.P-1W and ZAL-9691.P-1W. 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.
