24 vinyl pressings of Get Together / Beautiful are listed here, from 15 countries, released between 1969 and 1979.
The earliest pressings are from 1969, in US, UK, Australia, Brazil and more. One of them is RCA Victor 47-9752, released June 1969.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 47-9752, SP 45-199, RCA 1877, LC-16211) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TPKM-7511--5S(stamped) -A1C R(scribed) and XPKS-0178--1S(stamped) -A1A R(scribed). 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.
