30 vinyl pressings of Make Me Smile / Colour My World are listed here, from 17 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1970, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Columbia 4S-45127, released March 17, 1970.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 4S-45127, 4-45127, S 4919, BA-221738) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, JZSS 153308-1A p and ZS S 153309-1A p. 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.
