22 vinyl pressings of Marie / You Can Tell are listed here, from 13 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in UK, US, Australia, Belgium and more. One of them is Decca F.12156.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use F.12156, 45 LON 9762, 45-LON 9762, 45 LON 9762V) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DRF-35634-T2-2C and DRF-35635-T1-1C. 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.
