23 vinyl pressings of I'm The One are listed here, from 13 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in UK, India, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Columbia DB 7189, released January 1964.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DB 7189, DO-4443, 72145, 45-DYC 1164) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 7XCA 27247-1N GDG KT 3 and 7XCA 27248-1N PT KT 5. 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.
