APALLDAY28 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I aquired a bunch of old vinyl and I'm going to sell them. How can I tell if it's 180 gram? Also how can I tell if it's a re-issue or a 1st pressing? thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psus2h Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Type the cat number into google and you'll find a site that has the album info. Also 180 is easy to spot it is visually and physically noticeable. APALLDAY28 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APALLDAY28 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Stupid question, where's the cat #? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APALLDAY28 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Okay so for example I put highway 61 revisited.'s cat # in google and clicked on the discogs site. The cat # is CS 9189, so it says that it's from the US & it's from 65. Does that mean its a 1st pressing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David The Gnome Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Just save everyone, including yourself, the hassle/time and go to a local record store and let them buy your vinyl acquisition. You'll get money in your pocket and boost their used inventory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APALLDAY28 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Also under the notes it says "this is a rarer stereo version of this LP with an alterative take of From a buick 6". How much do these normally sell for? feralpanda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elgato48 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Sound like you just got a bunch of old records. I'll give you about 10 bucks. For all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone I've met that finds out I like records always says something similar to this thread to me. "Oh I have dark side of the moon on vinyl how much could I get for it" well probably $3 because they pressed millions and everyone has it. firefoxUSSR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwitchingTongues Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 You should probably just donate these records to your local thrift store and not worry about it. The world needs more first pressing Barry Manilow records floating around out there, which aren't 180 gram by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emo Revival Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 THIS. I had a guy at work pester me for a week to look at and price his thriller record, because apparently collecting vinyl makes you an expert. He was so pissed when I told him it was worth less than a dollar because there's been hundreds of pressings and they've made about 25-30 million copies.

3arl Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 If you break it half then there should be some writing that will tell you if it's a first press and how much it weighs. cbbrew22, mrrom92 and KevinShishko 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsfan4ever80 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 It's highly unlikely any "older" albums you've received are pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Most records released around the 70s were pressed on some pretty lightweight wax as way to save money. As someone noted earlier, bring your vinyl down to a local record store and let them put a price on your records. Not to be mean, but you're probably going to be very disappointed when you find out how little you're going to receive - not because your local record store is looking to take advantage of you, but because records aren't worth nearly as much as people seem to believe. Go flip through a bin at a local store, you'll find thirty copies of Fleetwood Mac's Rumors for $2 and twenty copies of Who's Next for $3.

OG Blue Note albums from around the mid 50s to the mid 60s were all 180gm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
