39 vinyl pressings of Lipstick On Your Collar / Frankie are listed here, from 15 countries, released between 1959 and 1984.
The earliest pressings are from 1959, in US, UK, Japan, France and more. One of them is MGM Records SK50121, released May 1959.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SK50121, K 12793, K12793, 45-MGM-1018) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 59-XY-ST-564 and 59-XY-ST-563. 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.
