11 vinyl pressings of Come And Get These Memories are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1963 and 2020.
The earliest pressings are from 1963, in US, UK, Canada. One of them is Gordy Gordy 902.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use Gordy 902, G 902, PS 40052, GO 902) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, P4RM 8421-1 B A1 R and P4RM 8422-1 B A1 R. 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.
