19 vinyl pressings of Jim Reeves' Golden Records are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1964 and 1979.
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in Germany. One of them is RCA Victor LPM 10 015.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LPM 10 015, LSP 10 015) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SHPP-2153 and SHPP-2154. 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.
