37 vinyl pressings of I'm Going Home / Hear Me Calling are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1968 and 1973.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in UK, US, Canada, Denmark and more. One of them is Deram DM 221, released November 1968.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DM 221, 45-DEM-85035, 45-85035, DM 85035) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DR 43018-TI-IC and DR 43588-TI-IC. 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.
