15 vinyl pressings of Call Me Round are listed here, from 11 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1975, in UK, Belgium, Denmark, Germany and more. One of them is EMI EMI 2287, released April 4, 1975.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use EMI 2287, 4C 006-05881, 1 C 006-05 881, 4106) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, EMI 2287 A-2 and PARSLOE DOES IT AGAIN!. 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.
