10 vinyl pressings of All The Faces Of Buddy Miles are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1974 and 1975.
The earliest pressings are from 1974, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Columbia KC 33089.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use KC 33089, S 80349, SBP 234605, PC 33089) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PAL 33089-1B o SXT {ARTISAN logo} A and PBL 33089-1B o SXT {ARTISAN logo} B. 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.
