48 vinyl pressings of Have 'Twangy' Guitar Will Travel are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1958 and 2014.
The earliest pressings are from 1958, in US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand. One of them is Jamie JLP-3000.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use JLP-3000, JLP-70-3000, STLP 3000, HAA 2160) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DE-LP-500 LW and DE-LP-501 LW. 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.
