61 vinyl pressings of Paint Your Wagon are listed here, from 17 countries, released between 1969 and 1985.
The earliest pressings are from 1969, in UK & Ireland, US, Canada, France and more. One of them is Paramount Records SPFL 257.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SPFL 257, PMS 1001, PMS-1001, 2C 064-90.591) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SPFL 257A 1G and SPFL 257B 1G. 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.
