15 vinyl pressings of When The Swing Comes Marching In are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1968 and 1986.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in Netherlands, South Africa. One of them is Philips SBL 7870.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SBL 7870, 844 063 PY, 873 028 UBY, PST 5099) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
