I have a US six eye stereo with the misprint label that I figure to be worth about $150 but I'm not looking to sell it any time soon. I enjoy having it and the music is of course stellar.

Every rule of thumb has exceptions but generally collectors prefer pressings from the country of origin as opposed to pressings from other countries. There is a better chance that record was cut from the master tape where as foreign pressings usually use a duplicate tape. Collectors also tend to favor first pressings to later reissues for a variety of reasons.
 
Listened to this album today. Recorded the MFSL 45 version to the Crown SX-724 and had it playing while I waited for the boys to come over. One to pick up a couple transistors I ordered from Digikey and the other to deliver my recently purchased Kenwood KD-500 and pick up his Magneplanar Tympani IVa speakers. WOW!!! I have room in the sound room for more stuff now that those speakers are on their way home. Had em for a year waiting for Steve to find a house in Dayton and move in. Looking forward to redoing the soundroom.

But it was all about listening to KoB, a classis if there ever was one. Doesn't matter the value if the enjoyment is there.

Look at the deadwax, open area around the lead out groove and put that into the discogs search and it might pinpoint the album you have of the over 400 versions in all formats that are currently listed on their site. Of course, if your version is not there, you can add it and wait for it to be approved and become part of their database.

Thanks Markshan, interesting info, and I was always likely to have a European version as I am that side of the pond.
