21 vinyl pressings of One Fine Morning / Little Kind Words are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1971 and 1972.
The earliest pressings are from 1971, in Canada, US, UK, Australia and more. One of them is GRT 1230-10, released August 1971.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 1230-10, 1048, EVS 107, 6073 152) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 1230-10-1 and 1230-10-2. 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.
