Lola Versus Powerman And The Moneygoround, Part… was first pressed on vinyl in 1970. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

73 vinyl pressings of Lola Versus Powerman And The Moneygoround, Part… are listed here, from 18 countries, released between 1970 and 2020.
The earliest pressings are from 1970, in UK, US, France, Australia and more. One of them is Pye Records NSPL 18359, released November 27, 1970.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use NSPL 18359, NSPL - 18359, RS 6423, SLDPY.775) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, NSPL 18359A-1 ✳T 1 B and NSPL 18359B-3 ✳T 1 B. 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.
