11 vinyl pressings of Goin' Home are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1977 and 2021.
The earliest pressings are from 1977, in Denmark, US, Japan, Netherlands and more. One of them is SteepleChase SCS-1079.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SCS-1079, RJ-7424) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SCS 1079A 8P 710 TA and SCS 1079 B 8P 710 TA. 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.
