14 vinyl pressings of Uphill All The Way are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1971 and 2023.
The earliest pressings are from 1971, in UK, Colombia, France, Germany and more. One of them is Transatlantic Records TRA 238.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TRA 238, LSF 25-90, LMLP 15 806, SWG-7532) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TRA 238 A-2U and TRA 238 B-2U. 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.
