Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Rock On are there?

The earliest pressings are from 1971, in UK, US, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia & Hong Kong and more. One of them is A&M Records AMLS 2013, released March 1971.
How do I tell if my copy of Rock On is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AMLS 2013, SP 4301, SP-4301, 5191) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AMLS 2013 - A1 1 A and AMLS 2013 - B1 1 B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Rock On 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.
