Questions
How many vinyl pressings of 99 are there?

When was 99 first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in US, Argentina, Canada, Costa Rica and more. One of them is Columbia 1-11173.
How do I tell if my copy of 99 is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 1-11173, PD-166516, PD - 166516, 23.145) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ZSS-166516-1C TML-S P and ZSS-166517-1D TML-S P. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is 99 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.
