Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Eyes are there?
13 vinyl pressings of Eyes are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1976 and 2025.
When was Eyes first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in US, Australia, Canada, Germany and more. One of them is 20th Century Records T-523.
How do I tell if my copy of Eyes is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use T-523, L36175, 9209-523, 6370 254) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, M-523-AS AZ [flower] and M-523-BS AZ [flower]. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Eyes 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.
