16 vinyl pressings of I'm Gon' Git Myself Together are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1970 and 2009.
The earliest pressings are from 1970, in Germany. One of them is Verve Records 2304 020.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2304 020) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ℗ 1970 A70 ◇Z C 2304 020 S1 and ℗ 1970 A70 ◇Z C 00 2304 020 S2. 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.
