The earliest pressings are from 1968, in US. One of them is Cadet Concept LPS 318.
How do I tell if my copy of Peace is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LPS 318) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, W4RS-5321-1B LPS-318 #17313 MWK (Monarch Symbol stamp) and W4RS-5322-1B LPS-318 #17314 MWK A12447-X (Monarch Symbol Stamp).

How much is Peace 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.
