19 vinyl pressings of I'll Never Leave You / This World are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1968 and 1969.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in France, UK, Belgium, Israel and more. One of them is Riviera 121 168.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 121 168, DB 8405, DCB 87, VB.081) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 10361A and 10361B. 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.
