101 vinyl pressings of Give Peace A Chance / Remember Love are listed here, from 35 countries, released between 1969 and 1994.
The earliest pressings are from 1969, in UK, US, Australia, New Zealand and more. One of them is Apple Records APPLE 13, released July 4, 1969.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use APPLE 13, 1809, 1809P, APPLE-8833) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, APPLE 13 A-1 G DT KT 5 and APPLE 13 B-1 G TM KT. 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.
