by Santana · 1977
She's Not There was first pressed on vinyl in 1977. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

39 vinyl pressings of She's Not There are listed here, from 20 countries, released between 1977 and 1978.

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CBS 5671, 5671, 3-10616, S CBS 5671) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CBS 01-5671-1A-3 and CBS 01-5671-1B-4. 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.
