13 vinyl pressings of Double Barrelled Soul are listed here, from 3 countries, released between 1968 and 2001.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in US, Canada. One of them is Atlantic SD 1498.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SD 1498, 1498) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ST A671177 3A 0 CT 1 T AA4 and ST A671178 1A 1 CT T A5. 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.
