How do I tell if my copy of Rowdy is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 6E-330, X6E-330, P-10989E, LWE-6052) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 6E-330-A3-AR Masterfonics B15439 A3-1 and 6E-330-B3-AR Masterfonics B15439 B3.

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.
