20 vinyl pressings of Take A Closer Look At The Woman You're With are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1973 and 1974.
The earliest pressings are from 1973, in US, UK, Germany, Australia and more. One of them is RCA Victor APB0-0049.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use APB0-0049, APBO-0049, DJH0-0049, RCA 2430) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
