The earliest pressings are from 1972, in UK, Australia, France, Germany and more. One of them is Bronze ILPS 9190.
How do I tell if my copy of Charge! is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ILPS 9190, 6357 204, 6396 016, 86 097 IT) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ILPS 9190 A-2U G 1 and ILPS 9190 B-1U G 1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Charge! 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.
