14 vinyl pressings of City Girls are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1977 and 1978.
The earliest pressings are from 1977, in Germany, South Africa, Greece, Italy and more. One of them is Hansa International 25 151 IT, released March 1977.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 25 151 IT, ML 4143, SMB 40028, D. AI 30-309) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
