19 vinyl pressings of Bring It On Home To Me are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1968 and 1970.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in US, Australia, Canada, Germany and more. One of them is Stax STA-0012.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use STA-0012, KK-2632, STA.0012X, AX 23 958) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ST-0063-A ZTSB 129894-1D and ST-0064-B ZTSB 129895-1D. 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.
