10 vinyl pressings of I've Fallen In Love With A Snowman are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1964 and 1965.
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in UK, Netherlands, Germany, Ireland and more. One of them is Fontana TF 515, released November 1964.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TF 515, YF 278 709, 267 402 TF, ETF.515) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 267402 1F//1△4201 and 267402 2F//1△420 111. 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.
