10 vinyl pressings of Can't Live With You, Can't Live Without You are listed here, from 7 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1966, in UK, Australia, Germany, Ireland and more. One of them is Fontana TF 697, released April 1966.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TF 697, BF-264, 148 558 STF, 267578 TF) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 267578 1F//1▽420 1 1 5 and 267578 2F//1▽420 1 1 1. 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.
