14 vinyl pressings of Run, Baby Run (Back Into My Arms) are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1965 and 1966.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Hickory Records 45-1332, released September 1965.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 45-1332, 45 1332, HK-2021, H-1332X) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, F790 MR P ZTSB 101541-B [signature] Δ58480 and ZTSB101542-1B [signature] F721 F̶7̶9̶1̶ MR P Δ58480-X. 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.
