29 vinyl pressings of All Alone Am I are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1963 and 1968.
The earliest pressings are from 1963, in US, UK, Canada, Europe and more. One of them is Decca DL 4370.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DL 4370, DL 74370, LAT 8530, STA 8530) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MG8810T6 2 and MG8810T4. 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.
