72 vinyl pressings of Travelin' Band / Who'll Stop The Rain are listed here, from 31 countries, released between 1970 and 2002.
The earliest pressings are from 1970, in US, UK, France, Netherlands and more. One of them is Fantasy FANT-637.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use FANT-637, Fantasy 637, 637, 638) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, F_2764_1 A2 I and F_2765_1 A4 I. 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.
