How many vinyl pressings of Calumet are there?

When was Calumet first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1973, in US, UK, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is Big Tree Records BT 2101.
How do I tell if my copy of Calumet is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BT 2101, 6369 802, 6369802, 6369 802 L) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BT 2101A BEST and BT 2101B BEST. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Calumet on vinyl worth?
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.
