12 vinyl pressings of Olivia are listed here, from 7 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1972, in Australia, UK, Germany, Italy and more. One of them is Interfusion ITFL 34658.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ITFL 34658, NSPL 28168, 2310 219, ITFL34658) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SMX 40789 2B and SMX 40790 2B. 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.
