John and Yoko's Wedding Album was released in the U.S. by Apple Records on October 20, 1969, in three different formats - standard vinyl, 8-track tape, and cassette. A nearly identical set was later issued in Japan on February 5th, 1970 on both red and black vinyl. The Japanese set included an extra booklet with lyrics and interviews. A large quantity of all three USA variations turned up in the mid to late 1970's, with vinyl selling for $50-$75 and the tape sets from $15-$25. They have long since dried up, and have risen somewhat in value. The LP versions are in the greatest demand, but the tape issues are slowly gaining popularity. The chart below lists all of the known variations along with the catalog number, release date, and current value.
