21 vinyl pressings of Peace Will Come (According To Plan) are listed here, from 16 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1970, in US, UK, Japan, Australia and more. One of them is Buddah Records BDA 186, released July 1970.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BDA 186, 2011-039, LL-2402-DA, 2011 039) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BDA 186 A ARP STERLING and BDA 186 B STERLING ARP. 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.
