Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Turkey are there?
10 vinyl pressings of Turkey are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1972 and 1973.
When was Turkey first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1972, in UK, US, Canada, Denmark and more. One of them is Chrysalis CHR-1010.
How do I tell if my copy of Turkey is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CHR-1010, CHR 1010, 6307 509, 040 1010) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CHR 1010 A-1U PORKY M 1 and CHR 1010 B-2U PECKIE L 1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Turkey 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.
