14 vinyl pressings of Nothing But The Truth are listed here, from 10 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1974, in UK, US, Netherlands, Australia and more. One of them is Chrysalis CHS.2032, released March 1974.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CHS.2032, CHS 2032, 5C 006-95287, K-5464) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CHS 2032 A-2U O 1 and CHS 2032 B-2U P 1. 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.
