13 vinyl pressings of Touch Me, Touch Me are listed here, from 10 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in UK, South Africa, Australia, Belgium and more. One of them is Fontana TF 798.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TF 798, TF 786, BF-311, 267 685 TF) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2 676 85 1F▽ 1 420 12 1 and 2676 8 5 2F▽ 1 420 12 3. 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.
