11 vinyl pressings of Young Brigham are listed here, from 3 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in US, UK, Canada. One of them is Reprise Records RS 6284.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RS 6284, RSLP 6284) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 30732 RS 6284B-1A and 30731 RS 6284A-1B. 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.
