11 vinyl pressings of With Friends And Neighbors are listed here, from 7 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1971, in US, UK, Canada, France and more. One of them is Capricorn Records SD 860.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SD 860, 2400117, 503 067, 40.217) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ST-CAP 702095B MO at gp (MR) △15756 D PR X and ST-CAP-702096B at GP (MR) △15756-X D PR X. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
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.
