Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Between The Buttons are there?

When was Between The Buttons first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1967, in UK, US, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is Decca LK 4852, released January 20, 1967.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LK 4852, SKL 4852, LK.4852, PS 499) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XARL-7644-4A and XARL-7645-4A. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Between The Buttons 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.
