18 vinyl pressings of Pride And Joy / One Of These Days are listed here, from 6 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1963, in US, UK, Canada, Japan and more. One of them is Tamla T-54079, released April 18, 1963.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use T-54079, TAMLA 54079, 45-CBA 1846, JET-1303) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ARP DM B-029117 10 Nashville Matrix and ARP Nashville Matrix DMV-023317 10. 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.
