Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Milestones are there?

59 vinyl pressings of Milestones are listed here, from 20 countries, released between 1971 and 1983.

When was Milestones first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1971, in UK, Australia & New Zealand, Belgium, Germany and more. One of them is Decca SKL 5098.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SKL 5098, 278.038 Y 804, SLK 16 725 - P, SKLI 5098) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XZAL-10776.P-1W BH JT CF and XZAL-10777.P-1W BH JT CF. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Milestones 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.
