14 vinyl pressings of Rod Stewart And The Faces are listed here, from 3 countries, released between 1975 and 1985.
The earliest pressings are from 1975, in US. One of them is Springboard SPB-4030.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SPB-4030) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SLT-01471 TR CR 4/75 TVC A and SLT-01472 TR CR 4/75 TVC A. 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.
