23 vinyl pressings of Deliverance are listed here, from 18 countries, released between 1977 and 2016.
The earliest pressings are from 1977, in France, Hong Kong, South Africa, Turkey. One of them is Vogue LDA 20317, released December 1977.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LDA 20317, VGC 1001, YP 639) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LDA 20317 A³ and LDA 20317 B¹. 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.
