by Savoy Brown · 1971
Street Corner Talking was first pressed on vinyl in 1971. 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 Street Corner Talking are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1971 and 1983.
The earliest pressings are from 1971, in UK, US, Canada, France and more. One of them is Decca TXS 104.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TXS 104, PAS 71047, SKL 5.113 B, SLK 16732-P) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SAHS-1600.P GRUGGY WOOF. and SAHS-1601.P JT Hilltop. 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.
