18 vinyl pressings of Hey You! Get Off My Mountain are listed here, from 6 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1973, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Volt VOA-4090, released February 1973.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use VOA-4090, 2025 181) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, STXS-0433-10 SV-1147 L.NIX and STXS-0433-14 VS-01147 LNIX. 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.
