10 vinyl pressings of My Tennessee are listed here, from 2 countries, released between 1958 and 1959.
The earliest pressings are from 1958, in Italy. One of them is Music EPM 10105.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use EPM 10105) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, EPM 10105 - A 27 - 8 - 58 and EPM 10105 - B 27 - 8 - 58. 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.
