Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Shazam are there?
29 vinyl pressings of Shazam are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1970 and 2023.
When was Shazam first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1970, in UK, US, Australia, Brazil and more. One of them is Regal Zonophone SLRZ 1012, released February 27, 1970.
How do I tell if my copy of Shazam is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SLRZ 1012, SP 4259, SFL-933,748, FL-933,748) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, YCARX.63 and YCARX.64. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Shazam 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.
