The earliest pressings are from 1972, in US, UK, Colombia, Australia and more. One of them is London Records XPS 608, released March 1972.
How do I tell if my copy of Miracles is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use XPS 608, SHU 8431, SAHA 8431, SHA-U 135) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SAHS-1614-1-11-1 D and SAHS-1615-1-11-1 D PR. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Miracles 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.
