16 vinyl pressings of Turn Around, Look At Me are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1968 and 1969.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in US, Argentina, Canada, Germany and more. One of them is Reprise Records RS 6314.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RS 6314, 12.786, GX 01-314, RRC 6314) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 30811 RS 6314A -1F and 30812 RS 6314B -1F. 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.
