15 vinyl pressings of Meine Liebe Zu Dir are listed here, from 3 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in Germany, Austria, Switzerland. One of them is Polydor 52 830.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 52 830) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, Made in Germany B0 3 ℗ 1967 E7 ◊Z 52830 A and Made in Germany BU 3 ℗ 1967 E7 ◊Z 52830 B. 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.
