The earliest pressings are from 1963, in US, UK, Australia, Canada. One of them is Coed CO 576, released February 1963.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CO 576, HL-U.9709, HL-2092, M. 17289) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, P4KM 2397 and P4KM 2420. 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.
