23 vinyl pressings of Crow By Crow are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1970 and 2022.
The earliest pressings are from 1970, in US, UK, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is Amaret ST5006.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ST5006, ST 5006, SSL 10310, 5128) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LPS 6013RE1 B-11618 AM-OS and LPS 6014RE1 B-11619 AM-OS. 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.
