The earliest pressings are from 1972, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Sussex SXBS 7014.
How do I tell if my copy of Still Bill is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SXBS 7014, AMLS 68107, SASL-934,572, 86 136 IT) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, T1 SXBS-7014-A-5 Bell Sound RCK and T2 SXBS 7014 B-5 X STERLING LH. 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.
