10 vinyl pressings of Celebration are listed here, from 1 country, released between 1976 and 1982.
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in Italy. One of them is Numero Uno ZNLN 3036, released September 1976.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ZNLN 3036, ZNLN 33036) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, △ P 15 FKAY 29236 1S 1A 10 L and 16 △ P 15 FKAY 29237 1S 1A 10 L. 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.
