Quick Joey Small (Run Joey Run) was first pressed on vinyl in 1968. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

26 vinyl pressings of Quick Joey Small (Run Joey Run) are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1968 and 1975.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in US, Australia, Belgium, Canada and more. One of them is Buddah Records BDA 64.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BDA 64, BUD-002, BE 610018, BUDDAH 64X) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BUD-5126A-2A (-2) 34-2 968 and BUD 5127A-1B. 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.
