12 vinyl pressings of The Peacocks are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1977 and 1987.
The earliest pressings are from 1977, in US, UK, Canada, Australia and more. One of them is Columbia JC 34873.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use JC 34873, S CBS 82217, PC 34873, SBP 237106) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
