27 vinyl pressings of Coming On Strong are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1966 and 1975.
The earliest pressings are from 1966, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Decca DL 4825.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DL 4825, DL 74825, STA.8672, LAT 8672) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MG 10680 T3 2 and MG 10681 T3 2. 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.
