10 vinyl pressings of Cry Me A River / Comes The Night are listed here, from 4 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in US, UK, Italy, Netherlands. One of them is Musicor Records MU 1076.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MU 1076, SS 419, JMBR 6019, MR 6019) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ZTSP 98881 TI I and ZTSP 98882 TII. 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.
