How do I tell if my copy of Images is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BL 7770, P 14.583, SBL 7770, PSK 3284) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 14583 1L▽ 1 420 113 and 14583 2L▽ 1 420 121. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Images 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.
