15 vinyl pressings of There Goes That Song Again are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1962 and 2019.
The earliest pressings are from 1962, in US, UK, Canada, New Zealand. One of them is Mercury SR-60673, released August 6, 1962.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SR-60673, SR 60673, MG 20673, MMC 14108) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PBG 6214-1 F and PBG 6222-1 F. 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.
