62 vinyl pressings of Seasons In The Sun / Put The Bone In are listed here, from 33 countries, released between 1973 and 1977.
The earliest pressings are from 1973, in Canada, US, Germany, Greece and more. One of them is Goldfish Records GF. 101.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use GF. 101, GF 101, 45,432, Bell-45,432) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 101 A #2 Q and 101 B #3. 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.
