38 vinyl pressings of Fog On The Tyne are listed here, from 15 countries, released between 1971 and 2023.
The earliest pressings are from 1971, in UK, France, Germany, Israel and more. One of them is Charisma CAS 1050, released October 1971.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CAS 1050, 6369 300, 6369 914, 13027 (6369 914)) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CAS 1050 A-1U PORKY and CAS 1050 B-1U PECKIE. 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.
