30 vinyl pressings of Dinah '62 are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1962 and 1982.
The earliest pressings are from 1962, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Roulette SR 25170, released May 1962.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SR 25170, R 25170, 33SX 1453, SCX 3453) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XSV-81810-1A SRP 277 A and XSV-81811-1A RLP 277 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.
