13 vinyl pressings of I've Never Found A Girl are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1968 and 2023.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in US, UK, Canada, Greece and more. One of them is Stax STS 2002.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use STS 2002, XATS 1003, SXATS 1003, STSG 2002) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, p XSBV-129878-1D STL-0005 and p XSBV-129879-1B ST-2002B STS 0006 7. 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.
