22 vinyl pressings of Remember Me This Way are listed here, from 17 countries, released between 1974 and 1975.
The earliest pressings are from 1974, in UK, Argentina, Australia, Austria and more. One of them is Bell Records BELLS 237.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BELLS 237, 2308 091, BLL-36003, 2337 035) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BELLS 237 A-1U GG 2 and BELLS 237 B-1U MD 13. 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.
