16 vinyl pressings of Cannonball And Eight Giants are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1973 and 1985.
The earliest pressings are from 1973, in US, UK, South Africa. One of them is Milestone 47001.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 47001, MSP-47001, MSD 6057) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MSP 47001-A 1A and MSP 47001-B 1A. 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.
