How many vinyl pressings of Slow Dancer are there?

When was Slow Dancer first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1974, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Columbia KC 32760.
How do I tell if my copy of Slow Dancer is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use KC 32760, S 65953, SBP 234489, SOPL 247) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, P and PAL 32760-1D. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Slow Dancer on vinyl worth?
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.
