118 vinyl pressings of Brothers And Sisters are listed here, from 22 countries, released between 1973 and 2023.
The earliest pressings are from 1973, in US, UK, Australia, Brazil and more. One of them is Capricorn Records CP 0111, released August 1973.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CP 0111, K47507, CP-0111, WBPL 5.049) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CP-0111 40412-RE-1-1B and CP-0111 40413-RE-1-1B F 12. 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.
