17 vinyl pressings of Screaming Night Hog / Spiritual Fantasy are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1970 and 1971.
The earliest pressings are from 1970, in US, UK, Canada, France and more. One of them is Dunhill 45-D-4248, released August 1970.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 45-D-4248, D-4248, SS 8056, 2C 006-91.742 M) 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.
