The earliest pressings are from 1973, in US, UK, Netherlands, Angola and more. One of them is Columbia KC 32090.
How do I tell if my copy of I Can See Clearly Now is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use KC 32090, KC-32090, S 65430, S 63053) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PAL 32090-1D [Artisan logo] A 1 P and PBL 32090-1D [Artisan logo] A 1 P. 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.
