40 vinyl pressings of Around The World With Three Dog Night are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1973 and 1976.
The earliest pressings are from 1973, in US, UK, Australia, Brazil and more. One of them is Dunhill DSY-50138.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DSY-50138, DSY 50138, PBSP 113, SPBB 3/4) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DSY 50138-A and DSY 50138 B X. 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.
