16 vinyl pressings of Swingin' Dixie Volume 3 are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1960 and 1975.
The earliest pressings are from 1960, in US. One of them is Audio Fidelity AFSD 5926.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AFSD 5926, AFLP 1926, FBY 155 007) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AFSD#5926A OSS STEREO #1229595 and AFSD#5926B OSS STEREO #1229596. 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.
