19 vinyl pressings of Harvest For The World are listed here, from 10 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in US, UK, Australia, Brazil and more. One of them is T-Neck PZ 33809.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PZ 33809, PZQ 33809, EPC 81268, EPC S 81268) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, p o T2 PAL 33809-1C [artisan logo] D and p I S PBL 33809-1B o Sx [artisan logo] H. 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.
