30 vinyl pressings of Judy Teen are listed here, from 14 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1974, in UK, Netherlands, Angola, Australia and more. One of them is EMI EMI 2128, released March 11, 1974.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use EMI 2128, 5C 006-05561, 8E 006 05561, EMI-10481) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, EMI 2128 A - 2 GA 1 and EMI 2128 B - 1U GR 1 KIP. 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.
