16 vinyl pressings of 16 And Savaged are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1973 and 2021.
The earliest pressings are from 1973, in UK, US, Japan, Canada and more. One of them is Purple Records TPSA 7511.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TPSA 7511, MCA-391, EOP-80928, 2C066-94725) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TPSA 7511 B-1U and TPSA 7511 B-1U. 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.
