Vinyl pressings
by The Rolling Stones · 1973
Goat's Head Soup was first pressed on vinyl in 1973. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
66 pressings came out in 1973, the album's first year, in 28 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

176 vinyl pressings of Goat's Head Soup are listed here, from 39 countries, released between 1973 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 1973, in UK, US, France, Israel and more. One of them is Rolling Stones Records COC 59101, released August 31, 1973.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use COC 59101, 50-14.084, COC-59101, COC 59 101) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, COC 59101 A2 ROLLING STONES RECORDS and COC 59101 B1 ROLLING STONES RECORDS. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
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.
