41 vinyl pressings of Here Comes Fats Domino are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1963 and 2022.
The earliest pressings are from 1963, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is ABC-Paramount ABCS 455.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ABCS 455, ABC 455, ZA.6208, CLP 1690) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ABCS 455 A LW Bell Sound and ABCS 455 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.
