When was Cornbread first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in US. One of them is Blue Note BLP 4222, released January 1967.
How do I tell if my copy of Cornbread is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BLP 4222, BST 84222) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BNLP-4222·A VAN GELDER and BNLP-4222·B VAN GELDER. 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.
