11 vinyl pressings of Cheree are listed here, from 4 countries, released between 1978 and 2021.
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in UK, Italy. One of them is Red Star Records 12 BRO 57, released July 14, 1978.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 12 BRO 57, BRO 57, RED 1, HKAS 32204, RED 1 HKAS 32204) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 12 BRO 57-A and 12 BRO 57-B. 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.
