Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Midnight Cowboy are there?

87 vinyl pressings of Midnight Cowboy are listed here, from 23 countries, released between 1969 and 2021.

When was Midnight Cowboy first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1969, in US, UK, Australia, Brazil and more. One of them is United Artists Records UAS 5198.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use UAS 5198, UAS 29043, SUAL-933478, M-UA 20052) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, UAS-5198A-1A 6-17-69 and UAS-5198B-1A 10-6-69. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Midnight Cowboy 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.
