132 vinyl pressings of Then Play On are listed here, from 20 countries, released between 1969 and 2020.
The earliest pressings are from 1969, in UK, US, France, Canada and more. One of them is Reprise Records RSLP 9000, released September 1969.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RSLP 9000, RS 6368, SRV. 6110, SJET-8196) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RSLP 9000-A and RSLP 9000-B. 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.
