10 vinyl pressings of I'll Blow You A Kiss In The Wind are listed here, from 5 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1969, in US, Germany, Japan, New Zealand and more. One of them is B&H Aquarian Records 380.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 380, BELL 88009, BL.220, 4E 006-90887 M) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 9291 77717 and 9292 77717-X. 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.
