10 vinyl pressings of Muddy Mississippi Line are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1969 and 1970.
The earliest pressings are from 1969, in US, Canada, Germany. One of them is United Artists Records UAS 6735.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use UAS 6735, UAS 29 093 I) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, I UAS-6735-A M.D. and I UAS-6735-B II M.D.. 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.
