14 vinyl pressings of Twistin' The Stomp are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1962 and 1976.
The earliest pressings are from 1962, in US, UK, Canada, France and more. One of them is Imperial LP-9170.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LP-9170, HA-P 2447, LP9170, 46 860) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, IX-341 LA and IX-342 LA 2. 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.
