44 vinyl pressings of Twice Removed From Yesterday are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1973 and 2023.
The earliest pressings are from 1973, in UK, US, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Chrysalis CHR 1039, released March 1973.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CHR 1039, CYL-34835, L 34835, 05(8831)01740) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CHR 1039 A-1U and CHR 1039 B-1U. 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.
