18 vinyl pressings of The Supremes Produced And Arranged By Jimmy Webb are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1972 and 1973.
The earliest pressings are from 1972, in US, Brazil, Canada, Germany and more. One of them is Motown M 756L.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use M 756L, M756L, M 756L DJ, 1 C 062-94026) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, HS-1987-1-RE-1 B5RS-8047 TVC A1 and HS-1987-2-RE-1 B5RS-8048 TVC A1. 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.
