14 vinyl pressings of When I Fall In Love / Smile are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1961 and 1962.
The earliest pressings are from 1961, in US, UK, Canada, Greece and more. One of them is Capitol Records 4658.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 4658, 45-CL15235, F. 4658, F 4658) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 45-36392-N1 [Scranton Lathe Logo] and 45-36394-n1 #4 [Scranton Lathe Logo]. 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.
