Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Let It Bleed are there?

When was Let It Bleed first released on vinyl?

How do I tell if my copy of Let It Bleed is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SKL.5025, LK 5025, SKL 5025, LK.5025) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XZAL-9363-P-1W and XZAL-9364-P-2W. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Let It Bleed on vinyl worth?
