15 vinyl pressings of Cuffed, Collared & Tagged are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1972 and 2020.
The earliest pressings are from 1972, in US, Australia, Barbados, France and more. One of them is Cream CR-9009, released July 1, 1972.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CR-9009, CR 9009, 2C 064-93672, 1C 062-93 672) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ℗ 1972 CREAM RECORDS CR-9009 <A> CF THM and ℗ 1972 CREAM RECORDS CR-9009 <B> CF THM. 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.
