When was Fever first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Bang Records B-511, released October 1965.
How do I tell if my copy of Fever is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use B-511, IM 021, OSS-193, Atl. 70.151) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, W-10043 LW Bell Sound W1-0043 and W-10044 LW Bell Sound W1-0044. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Fever 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.
