25 vinyl pressings of After The Goldrush are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1973 and 1989.
The earliest pressings are from 1973, in UK, Australia, Canada, Ireland and more. One of them is Dawn DNS.1052.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DNS.1052, DNS-1052, DNS 1052, PYS 317) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DNS 1052-A and DNS 1052-B. 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.
