48 vinyl pressings of My Bonnie (Mein Herz Ist Bei Dir Nur) are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1961 and 1986.
The earliest pressings are from 1961, in Germany. One of them is Polydor 24 673.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 24 673) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, X24673-2 A Made in Germany K1 H/S and 24673-2 B Made in Germany 2 K1 H/S. 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.
