Vinyl pressings
by Bobby Darin · 1961
Multiplication / Irresistible You was first pressed on vinyl in 1961. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
23 pressings came out in 1961, the album's first year, in 14 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

33 vinyl pressings of Multiplication / Irresistible You are listed here, from 21 countries, released between 1961 and 1962.
The earliest pressings are from 1961, in US, UK, Australia, Brazil and more. One of them is ATCO Records 45-6214.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 45-6214, 45-HLK 9474, 45-HL-K 9474, HL-1910) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 61-C-5808-21, △ 41180 AT [MR logo] W and 61-C-5800-21, △ 41179 [MR logo] AT W. 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.
