12 vinyl pressings of One, Two, Three / Down By The Riverside are listed here, from 5 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in US, UK, Canada, Italy and more. One of them is Cadet 5556.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 5556, CRS 8055, C5556, DE. 2665) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TM-1924 15470 Nashville Matrix and TM-1925 15477 Nashville Matrix. 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.
