Vinyl pressings
by The Turtles · 1967
Happy Together was first pressed on vinyl in 1967. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
37 pressings came out in 1967, the album's first year, in 15 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

54 vinyl pressings of Happy Together are listed here, from 19 countries, released between 1967 and 2020.
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in US, UK, Canada, Australia and more. One of them is White Whale WW 114, released June 14, 1967.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use WW 114, WWS 7114, WW S-7114, HAU 8330) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, W 8894 and W 8895. 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.
