78 vinyl pressings of Here Come The Warm Jets are listed here, from 21 countries, released between 1974 and 2018.
The earliest pressings are from 1974, in UK, US, Japan, Brazil and more. One of them is Island Records ILPS 9268, released January 1974.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ILPS 9268, ILS-80061, 410.042, 6396 032) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ILPS 9268 A4E M and ILPS 9268 B 3EM. 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.
