19 vinyl pressings of You'll Never Get To Heaven are listed here, from 9 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Scepter Records 1282.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 1282, SDJ-1282, 7N.25256, 7N 25256) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 60041 1282-A-1B B LW Bell Sound and 60042 1282-B-2A B LW Bell Sound. 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.
