21 vinyl pressings of Goody Goody Gumdrops / Candy Kisses are listed here, from 14 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in US, UK, Australia, Austria and more. One of them is Buddah Records BDA 71.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BDA 71, M-245, 201025, 201 025) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BUD5141 1A and BUD5142 1B. 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.
