I Wouldn't Trade You For The World was first pressed on vinyl in 1964. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

32 vinyl pressings of I Wouldn't Trade You For The World are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1964 and 1967.
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in UK, US, Germany, Hong Kong and more. One of them is Decca F.11949, released August 15, 1964.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use F.11949, 45-9693, 45 LON 9693, DL 25154) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DRF-33703-T2-2T and DRF-33749-T1-1T. 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.
