Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2473 302, GTLP 035, MARLIN 2225, Marlin 2225) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2933 804 A1 (Etched) POL 2473 804 A CIDIS DA 2473 302 (Stamped) and 2933 804 B1 (Etched) POL 2933 804 B CIDIS DA 2473 302 (Stamped). Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Fly Away 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.
