How many vinyl pressings of Celebrate are there?

When was Celebrate first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1970, in US, Canada, Denmark, France and more. One of them is Dunhill D-4229, released February 1970.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use D-4229, 45-D-4229, 45-4229, KSS 20) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 01394 MR △79661 and 01394 △79661-X. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Celebrate 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.
