62 vinyl pressings of Bobbie Gentry & Glen Campbell are listed here, from 15 countries, released between 1968 and 1979.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in US, UK, Australia, Brazil and more. One of them is Capitol Records ST2928, released September 1968.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ST2928, ST 2928, ST-2928, T2928) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ST1 2928 X5 #1 2 0 and ST2 2928 W4 #1 0. 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.
