43 vinyl pressings of Streisand Superman are listed here, from 22 countries, released between 1977 and 1989.
The earliest pressings are from 1977, in US, UK, Canada, Argentina and more. One of them is Columbia JC 34830.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use JC 34830, 86030, CBS 86030, CBS 135.006) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PAL-34830- 1AH-PN and PAL-34830-IAJ-PN #3. 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.
