18 vinyl pressings of Honeysuckle Rose / Crazy Rhythm are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1937 and 1953.
The earliest pressings are from 1937, in France. One of them is Swing SW. 1.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SW. 1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, OLA 1742-1 M3-89142 and OLA 1743-1 M3-89143. 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.
