10 vinyl pressings of 100% are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1968 and 1969.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in US, Canada, Germany, South Africa. One of them is MGM Records SE 4583.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SE 4583, SE4583, 665 106, ES 4044) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SE-4583 Side 1 MGS-1598 and SE-4583 Side 2 MGS-1599. 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.
