The earliest pressings are from 1972, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Signpost SP 8404.
How do I tell if my copy of O'Keefe is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SP 8404, SG 4252, SD 8404, ATL 40 444) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ST-SP-722549 CP and ST-SP-722550 CP. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is O'Keefe on vinyl worth?
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.
