How many vinyl pressings of Good Old Boys are there?

When was Good Old Boys first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1974, in US, UK, Australia, Belgium and more. One of them is Reprise Records MS 2193.
How do I tell if my copy of Good Old Boys is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MS 2193, MS4 2193, K2-54022, K54022) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MS-2193 31753-1A and MS-2193 31754-1B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Good Old Boys on vinyl worth?
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.
