11 vinyl pressings of Give And Take are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1967 and 1969.
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in UK, US, Netherlands, Canada and more. One of them is Island Records WIP-6004.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use WIP-6004, V 1265, 278 300 YF, SX 706) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, WI P 6004 ▽A▽1 420 and WIP 6004 B1 420. 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.
