12 vinyl pressings of Jungle Marmalade are listed here, from 7 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Buddah Records BDS 5016.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BDS 5016, NSPL 28118, SPLP 1262, 203 007) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, T o BDS 5016A-1A THANKS JOE REED Bell Sound and T o BDS 5016B-1A-B Bell Sound. 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.
