27 vinyl pressings of Michael / Santiano are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1961 and 1964.
The earliest pressings are from 1961, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is United Artists Records UA 258.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use UA 258, UA-258, 45-POP 910, KS-467) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, Bell Sound ZTSP 62663-1D... and ZTSP 62664-1A........... 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.
