We Call On Him / You'll Never Walk Alone was first pressed on vinyl in 1968. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

18 vinyl pressings of We Call On Him / You'll Never Walk Alone are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1968 and 1977.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in US, UK, France, Ireland and more. One of them is RCA Victor 47-9600.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 47-9600, RCA 1747, RCA-1747, 49.548) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
