11 vinyl pressings of Juke Box Jamboree are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1956 and 1960.
The earliest pressings are from 1956, in Canada, US, Australia, Japan and more. One of them is Decca DL 8292.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DL 8292, FR12-1111, AL-12045) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MG4636T2 1PS and MG4637T1 1PS. 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.
