14 vinyl pressings of I'm Movin' On are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1967 and 1970.
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in US, Canada, Germany, Italy and more. One of them is Blue Note BST 84255, released August 1967.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BST 84255, BLP 4255, BNS 84255, HBN 451-02) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BST-84255 A 1 B and BST 84255 B SIDE - 2 - 1A. 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.
