21 vinyl pressings of Songs Our Daddy Taught Us are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1958 and 2020.
The earliest pressings are from 1958, in US, Australia, Canada. One of them is Cadence CLP 3016, released December 1958.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CLP 3016, HAA 7527, CLP-3016) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, JO9P 0901 H5 I A2 and JO9P 0902 H5 I A2. 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.
