The earliest pressings are from 1971, in US, UK, Canada, Australia and more. One of them is Motown MS 723, released July 12, 1971.
How do I tell if my copy of Surrender is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MS 723, STML 11193, STMLO-10074, 2 C 062-92 749) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above.

How much is Surrender 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.
