18 vinyl pressings of Rose Of Cimarron are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1976 and 1978.
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in Germany, US, UK, Japan and more. One of them is ABC Records 17 195 AT, released October 1976.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 17 195 AT, ABC-12204, ABC 4130, MCA 589) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 17195 A-1/76S Made in Germany and 17195 B-2/76S Made 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.
