113 vinyl pressings of Ladies Of The Canyon are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1970 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 1970, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Reprise Records RS 6376.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RS 6376, S 6376, RSLP 6376, SJET-8251) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, P RS-6376 30992 B2 and P RS-6376 30993-2 B6. 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.
