131 vinyl pressings of Cabaret - Original Soundtrack Recording are listed here, from 35 countries, released between 1972 and 2022.
The earliest pressings are from 1972, in US, UK, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is ABC Records ABCD 752.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ABCD 752, ABCL 5019, (5C 062-93370-A), SPB 1052) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ABCD 752-A-RE6-1 and ABCD 752-B-RE-6. 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.
