19 vinyl pressings of Three In A Cell are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1968 and 2005.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in UK, US, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is CBS CBS S 63411.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CBS S 63411, CBS 63411, BN 26458, SBP 233750) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SBPG 63411 A1 D 1 0 and SBPG 63411 B1 D 1 3. 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.
