35 vinyl pressings of Music In A Doll's House are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1968 and 2006.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in UK, US, Canada, France and more. One of them is Reprise Records 6312, released July 1968.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 6312, RLP 6312, RS 6312, SRV.6117) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RSLP 6312 A-3G and RSLP 6312 B-3G. 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.
