I Only Want To Be With You was first pressed on vinyl in 1963. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

23 vinyl pressings of I Only Want To Be With You are listed here, from 12 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1963, in UK, US, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Philips BF 1292.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BF 1292, 40162, BF-79, 40162X) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 326616 1F▽ 2//420 1 1 15 4 and 326616 2F▽ 2//420 1 1 1 04 1 2 4. 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.
