19 vinyl pressings of When Will I See You Again are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1975 and 1976.
The earliest pressings are from 1975, in US, UK, Australia, Brazil and more. One of them is Columbia PC 33420.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PC 33420, PCQ 33420, S 80738, SBP 234648) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, T 1 PAL 33420-1E [Artisan logo] and T 1 PBL 33420-1F [Artisan logo]. 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.
