16 vinyl pressings of Let's Dance Again! are listed here, from 4 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1959, in US, UK, Canada, New Zealand. One of them is Mercury SR 60152, released October 1959.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SR 60152, MG 20470, CMS 18028, MG C-20470) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SRT60152 A MS1 B3D and SRT60152 B MS3 B. 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.
