Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Delilah are there?

60 vinyl pressings of Delilah are listed here, from 25 countries, released between 1968 and 1981.

When was Delilah first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1968, in UK, France, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is Decca SKL 4946.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SKL 4946, LK 4946, LKI 4946, LLM-17293) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ZAL-8384-1W and ZAL-8385-1W. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Delilah 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.
