11 vinyl pressings of Image - Part 1 / Image - Part 2 are listed here, from 3 countries, released between 1961 and 1965.
The earliest pressings are from 1961, in UK, US, Canada. One of them is His Master's Voice 45-POP 947.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 45-POP 947, 45-10256, 10256, FW 112) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 45 AMP 4332-1N 0 ET1 and 45 AMP 4333-1N A ET1. 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.
