Questions

How many vinyl pressings of The Trio are there?

When was The Trio first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1974, in Germany, UK, US, Australia and more. One of them is Pablo Records 2310 701.

How do I tell if my copy of The Trio is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2310 701, 2335 704, 2310 701 L, MW 2086) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2310 7 01 S1 320 H2 and 2310 7 01 S2 320 1n. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is The Trio 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.
