Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Nice are there?
47 vinyl pressings of Nice are listed here, from 16 countries, released between 1969 and 2025.
When was Nice first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1969, in UK, US, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Immediate IMSP 026.
How do I tell if my copy of Nice is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use IMSP 026, Z12 52022, IMOCS 102, IMSP-026) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, IMSP 026-1Y-2U and IMSP 026-2Y-2U. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Nice 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.
