31 vinyl pressings of God Bless Tiny Tim are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1968 and 2021.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in US, UK, Canada, Australia and more. One of them is Reprise Records R 6292.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use R 6292, RS 6292, R 6292 RS 6292, RSLP 6292) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 30751 RS6292 A RE1-1D o I and 30752 RS6292 B RE-1 -1D o I. 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.
