43 vinyl pressings of St. Louis To Liverpool are listed here, from 15 countries, released between 1964 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in US, Australia, Canada, Japan and more. One of them is Chess LP-1488, released November 1964.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LP-1488, LPS-1488, CHLS 219, CHL 219 MX145448) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LP1488 Side 1 13455 T.M 1063 Ω and LP1488 Side 2 13456 T.M 1064 Ω. 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.
