18 vinyl pressings of بعيد عنك are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1965 and 2017.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in Egypt, Morocco. One of them is Sono Cairo CSD 81.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CSD 81, CSD 178/217) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, تصريح ١٩٦٥/١١٨. 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.
