19 vinyl pressings of Half Breed - Santa Fe are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1971 and 1975.
The earliest pressings are from 1971, in France, Netherlands, Costa Rica, Germany and more. One of them is CBS CBS 7278.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CBS 7278, 10621, 7278, CBS 7402) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CBS 7278 A2 M GP and CBS 7278 B. 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.
