19 vinyl pressings of Play More Good Old Rock 'N' Roll are listed here, from 15 countries, released between 1970 and 1971.
The earliest pressings are from 1970, in UK, US, Australia, Belgium and more. One of them is Columbia DB 8724, released October 1970.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DB 8724, 5-10684, 10684, DO-9334) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 7 XCA 32760 - 1U and 7 XCA 32761 - 1U. 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.
