25 vinyl pressings of Rock And Rollin' With Fats Domino are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1956 and 2012.
The earliest pressings are from 1956, in US, UK, Canada. One of them is Imperial LP-9004, released March 1956.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LP-9004, HA-P 2041, V-1529) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, V6125 IX 7 LP 9004 and V6125 IX 8 LP 9004. 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.
