by Various Artists · 1969
Easy Rider (Music From The Soundtrack) was first pressed on vinyl in 1969. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

134 vinyl pressings of Easy Rider (Music From The Soundtrack) are listed here, from 29 countries, released between 1969 and 2017.
The earliest pressings are from 1969, in US, UK, Australia, Chile and more. One of them is Dunhill DSX 50063, released August 1969.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DSX 50063, SSL 5018, SOSL 5018, LDC-36717) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DSX 50063 A -1B.1 A10 S o and DSX 50063 B -1L B2 S1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
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.
