The earliest pressings are from 1976, in UK, US, Canada, Germany and more. One of them is Vertigo 9102 010.
How do I tell if my copy of Red Card is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 9102 010, SRM-1-1083, 9102. 010, 6360 133) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 9102010 1•//3▽420 04 11 1 and 9102010 2•//3▽420 04 11 4.

How much is Red Card 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.
