18 vinyl pressings of 18 Yellow Roses are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1963 and 1977.
The earliest pressings are from 1963, in UK, US, Canada, Germany and more. One of them is Capitol Records ST-1942.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ST-1942, T 1942, T-1942, STK 83 533) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ST1 1942 A9 and ST2 1942 A7. 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.
