19 vinyl pressings of Dream Baby (How Long Must I Dream) are listed here, from 12 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1971, in US, Australia, Brazil, Canada and more. One of them is Capitol Records 3062.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 3062, CP-9420, 7C-11.129, 2C 006-80.766 M) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, S45-76026-H1 #4 [IAM triangle] and S45-76027-H1 #2 [IAM triangle]. 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.
