18 vinyl pressings of Saturday Night Fiedler are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1979 and 1981.
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in US, UK, Australia & New Zealand, Canada and more. One of them is Midsong International MSI 011.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MSI 011, MSI 011 - DBX, 2310 688, VPL14182) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MSI-011A-1B and MS1 011 B-1E. 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.
