Vinyl pressings
by Donovan · 1965
Catch The Wind was first pressed on vinyl in 1965. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
24 pressings came out in 1965, the album's first year, in 10 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

54 vinyl pressings of Catch The Wind are listed here, from 15 countries, released between 1965 and 2022.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in US, UK, Japan, Australia and more. One of them is Hickory Records LPM 123, released June 1965.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LPM 123, LPS 123, LPS-H-123, NPL 18117) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XTBV100806-1C A F-125 and XTBV-100807-1A F-126. 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.
