15 vinyl pressings of Let Me Into Your Life are listed here, from 10 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1969, in Yugoslavia, UK, US, Australia and more. One of them is Jugoton SDC-8306.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SDC-8306, F.12893, 45-P-1540, F 12893) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SDC-8306A 10669-11669 MK-VP and SDC-8306B 10669 MK. 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.
