22 vinyl pressings of Sandy / Faith are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1963 and 1974.
The earliest pressings are from 1963, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Laurie Records 3153, released February 1963.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 3153, SS 161, FK-338, L-3153X) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, P4KM-2139 and P4KM-2140. 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.
