12 vinyl pressings of Soul Galore are listed here, from 4 countries, released between 1966 and 2021.
The earliest pressings are from 1966, in US, UK, Canada. One of them is Brunswick BL 54120.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BL 54120, BL 754120, LVA 9232, SVL 9232) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MG10308T1 1 and MG10309T1 1. 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.
