How do I tell if my copy of Odyshape is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ROUGH 13, Rough 13, RTL - 10, 200 224) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ROUGH 13 A//1▽EUT 11 [Lyre Symbol] SA and ROUGH 13 B//1▽EUT 11. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Odyshape 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.
