26 vinyl pressings of Move It / Schoolboy Crush are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1958 and 1987.
The earliest pressings are from 1958, in UK, Germany, Ireland, India and more. One of them is Columbia 45-DB 4178, released August 29, 1958.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 45-DB 4178, DB. 4178, C 21 040, DB (I) 4178) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 7XCA 24466 and 7XCA 24465. 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.
