11 vinyl pressings of Awa Frae Hame are listed here, from 3 countries, released between 1963 and 1976.
The earliest pressings are from 1963, in UK, Australia, New Zealand. One of them is Parlophone PCS 3048.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PCS 3048, PMC 1210, PMCO 1210, PCSM 3048) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, YEX 104-1 and YEX 105-1. 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.
