!!Going Places!! was first pressed on vinyl in 1965. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

156 vinyl pressings of !!Going Places!! are listed here, from 25 countries, released between 1965 and 2016.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in US, UK, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is A&M Records SP-4112, released October 1965.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SP-4112, SP 4112, SP 3264, LP 112) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SP-4123 Δ8381 and SP-4124 Δ8381-X. 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.
