15 vinyl pressings of Meet Me On The Corner Down At Joe's Cafe are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1974 and 1975.

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use NB 802, NES 0106, NEB 0017, CBX 501) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
