How many vinyl pressings of Captain Marvel are there?

The earliest pressings are from 1975, in US, UK, Germany, Argentina and more. One of them is Columbia PC 32706.
How do I tell if my copy of Captain Marvel is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PC 32706, KC 32706, C32706, 2304 225) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, P AL 32706-4A and P BL 32706-1B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Captain Marvel 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.
