15 vinyl pressings of Out & About / My Little Chickadee are listed here, from 11 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in US, UK, Italy, Australia and more. One of them is A&M Records 858.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 858, AMS.705, AMS 705, AM 802) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, A-1308 RE 1 1E 2 and A-1309 1D 2. 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.
