How many vinyl pressings of Born To Run are there?

When was Born To Run first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1975, in US, UK, Israel, Japan and more. One of them is Columbia JC 33795.
How do I tell if my copy of Born To Run is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use JC 33795, PC 33795, S 69170, 69170) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AL 33795-1AC T/ BL 33795-1AL T. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Born To Run 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.
