by Passport · 1975
Cross-Collateral was first pressed on vinyl in 1975. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
13 pressings came out in 1975, the album's first year, in 7 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

21 vinyl pressings of Cross-Collateral are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1975 and 1976.
The earliest pressings are from 1975, in Germany, US, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Atlantic ATL 50 111, released January 29, 1975.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ATL 50 111, SD 36-107, FLP 3811, GWEA-5159) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, WEA ST-C-743287-A AT GP PR Manufactured in Germany / etched PR appears in letters "ctu" of word "Manufactured" and WEA ST-C-743288-A AT GP PR Manufactured in Germany. 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.
