Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Yardbirds are there?

87 vinyl pressings of Yardbirds are listed here, from 16 countries, released between 1966 and 2023.

When was Yardbirds first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1966, in UK, US, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Columbia SX 6063, released July 15, 1966.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SX 6063, SCX 6063, BN 26210, LN 24210) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XAX 3126-1 and XAX 3127-1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Yardbirds 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.
