15 vinyl pressings of Standing On The Inside are listed here, from 13 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1973, in UK, US, Germany, Argentina and more. One of them is MGM Records 2006-267.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2006-267, K 14564, k 14564, 2006 267) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2006267 A 2 ✶ 420 13 1 and 2006267 B▽2 420 11 21. 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.
