How to spot a first pressing of Vol. 1.

Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Vol. 1. are there?

22 vinyl pressings of Vol. 1. are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1964 and 2014.

When was Vol. 1. first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1964, in Scandinavia. One of them is Sonet SLP 36.

How do I tell if my copy of Vol. 1. is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SLP 36) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 36 A and 36 B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Vol. 1. 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.
