25 vinyl pressings of Come Saturday Morning are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1970 and 1979.
The earliest pressings are from 1970, in US, UK, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is A&M Records SP4262.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SP4262, SP-4262, SP–4262, AMLS 990) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SP-4423 and SP-4424. 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.
