27 vinyl pressings of Change With The Times / Good Night, Baby are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1975 and 1976.
The earliest pressings are from 1975, in US, UK, Italy, Canada and more. One of them is Avco AV-4660.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AV-4660, AV 4660, AV-4660 DJ, 6105 042) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AV 1868-2 8 28 75 (Ƨ) MASTERDISK G.KONG 45 26 5 [Mirrored] and AV 1872-2 9 3 75 MASTERDISK G.KONG 45 46 6 [Mirrored]. 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.
