19 vinyl pressings of In Songs From Rose Marie are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1954 and 1959.
The earliest pressings are from 1954, in US, Germany. One of them is RCA Victor Red Seal ERA-220.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ERA-220, 45EP-ERA 220) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, E4RH 1061 2S I A 2 and E4RH 1062 1S I A1. 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.
