Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Adam's Apple are there?
32 vinyl pressings of Adam's Apple are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1967 and 2022.
When was Adam's Apple first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in US. One of them is Blue Note BLP 4232, released November 1967.
How do I tell if my copy of Adam's Apple is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BLP 4232, BST 84232) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Adam's Apple 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.
