11 vinyl pressings of Rosemary Brown's Music are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1970 and 1981.
The earliest pressings are from 1970, in UK, US, Canada, France and more. One of them is Philips 6500 049.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 6500 049, PHS 900-256, PHS-900-256, 6500 093) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 6500049 1Y//6▽420 and 6500049 2Y//2▽420. 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.
