28 vinyl pressings of Wind Me Up (Let Me Go) are listed here, from 16 countries, released between 1965 and 1982.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in UK, Australia, Denmark, Finland and more. One of them is Columbia DB 7745.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DB 7745, DO-4644, 45-DYC 1250, C 23 112) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 7XCA 28343-1 and 7XCA 28346-1. 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.
