19 vinyl pressings of To You With Love, Donny are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1971 and 1972.
The earliest pressings are from 1971, in US, Canada, Germany, New Zealand. One of them is MGM Records SE-4797.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SE-4797, P-139, 2424 039, 2315 064) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SE4797 MGS 2690 and SE4797 MGS 2691. 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.
