Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Atlantis are there?

When was Atlantis first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1963, in UK, Australia, Germany, Belgium and more. One of them is Columbia DB 7047.
How do I tell if my copy of Atlantis is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DB 7047, DO-4386, C 22 490, 45-DYC 1143) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 7XCA 26454-1N MM MT3 and 7XCA 26455-1N MO MT2. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Atlantis 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.
