13 vinyl pressings of Are You Lonely For Me? are listed here, from 4 countries, released between 1967 and 1971.
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in US, Canada, Germany. One of them is Shout Records SLPS 501, released March 1967.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SLPS 501, SLP 501, SLP-501, ALS-151) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ES 2000 and ES 2001. 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.
