19 vinyl pressings of And Here She Is are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1961 and 2018.
The earliest pressings are from 1961, in US, Australia, Canada, Philippines and more. One of them is RCA Victor LPM-2399, released September 1961.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LPM-2399, LSP-2399, L101146, LPM 2399) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, M2PP0191-2S Λ1 R and M2PP0192-2S Λ1 R. 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.
