32 vinyl pressings of I'm Into Something Good are listed here, from 18 countries, released between 1964 and 1965.
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in UK, US, India, Australia and more. One of them is Columbia DB 7338.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DB 7338, DB7338, K13280, K 13280) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 7XCA 26603 - 1N KT and 7XCA 26604 - 1N KT. 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.
