Vinyl pressings
by Janet Baker · 1963
An Anthology Of English Song was first pressed on vinyl in 1963. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
8 pressings came out in 1963, the album's first year. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

By decade, oldest first. Open a pressing for its full label, barcode and runout details.

10 vinyl pressings of An Anthology Of English Song are listed here, from 1 country, released between 1963 and 1974.
The earliest pressings are from 1963, in UK. One of them is Saga XID 5213.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use XID 5213, XIP 7013, STXID 5213, Saga 5213) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
