18 vinyl pressings of Sun Oh Son / Lonely Feelin' are listed here, from 11 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1971, in Italy, UK, US, Australia and more. One of them is United Artists Records LBF 15443.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LBF 15443, SUA 50746, SAU 50746, UAK-4133) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 18 LBF 15443♦1N 11/6/71 and 18 LBF 15443♦2N 11/6/71. 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.
