The earliest pressings are from 1968, in US, Canada, France, Germany and more. One of them is Capitol Records ST 2748.
How do I tell if my copy of McCallum is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ST 2748, T 2748, STTX 340.692, SMK 74 318) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ST-1-2748-A1 IAM and ST2-2748-B2 IAM. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is McCallum 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.
