19 vinyl pressings of My Feeling For The Blues are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1970 and 2022.
The earliest pressings are from 1970, in US, Germany. One of them is Cotillion SD 9016.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SD 9016) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ST-CTN-691729 PR and ST-CTN-691730 PR. 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.
