Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Norma are there?
31 vinyl pressings of Norma are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1961 and 2023.
When was Norma first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1961, in UK, US, France, Italy and more. One of them is Columbia SAX 2412-14.
How do I tell if my copy of Norma is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SAX 2412-14, 33CX 1766-68, 3615 C/L, SAXF 891/892/893) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, YBX 27-3 and YBX 28-5. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Norma 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.
