14 vinyl pressings of Established 1958 are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1968 and 1969.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in UK, Australia, Denmark, Germany and more. One of them is Columbia SX 6282.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SX 6282, SCX 6282, SCXO 6282, SMC 74 487) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XAX 3678 -1 G 1 and XAX 3679 -1 G 1. 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.
