25 vinyl pressings of (Turn On) The Music Machine are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1966 and 2018.
The earliest pressings are from 1966, in US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand. One of them is Original Sound OSR LPS 8875.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use OSR LPS 8875, OSR LPM 5015, FL-32,222, RLP 691) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2655-B-2 SIDE 1 SOR 8904 and 2656-B6 SIDE 2 SOR 8905. 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.
