10 vinyl pressings of I Get So Excited are listed here, from 5 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in France, UK, US, Madagascar and more. One of them is Fontana 260.139 MF.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 260.139 MF, PT 180 DJ, PT 108, PT-108) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, FON AA 260 139 1F 380 CV and FON AA 260 139 2F 380 CV. 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.
