11 vinyl pressings of Starry Eyed / Without Your Love are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1959 and 1960.
The earliest pressings are from 1959, in US, UK, Belgium, Canada and more. One of them is Carlton 521, released October 1959.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 521, 45-HLL 9003, 9.5.145, C-521X) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CRC 683 and CRC 684. 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.
