12 vinyl pressings of Goes . . . Continental are listed here, from 6 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1962, in US, Italy, Canada, New Zealand and more. One of them is RCA Victor LSP-2482.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LSP-2482, LPM-2482, LSP 2482, RPL 3326) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, N2PY 0089-3S S H and N2PY 0090-3S AI H. 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.
