170 vinyl pressings of Another Side Of Bob Dylan are listed here, from 16 countries, released between 1964 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in US, UK, Canada. One of them is Columbia CS 8993, released August 8, 1964.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CS 8993, CL 2193, 62429, BPG 62429) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, o XSM 77044 1F S1 and o XSM-77045-1C SS1. 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.
