39 vinyl pressings of The Thoughts Of Emerlist Davjack are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1968 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in UK, US, Australia, France and more. One of them is Immediate IMSP 016.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use IMSP 016, IMLP 016, IMSP016, Z12 52004) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, IMSLP 016A - 1Y and IMSLP 016B - 2Y. 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.
