How many vinyl pressings of Sugar Shack are there?

When was Sugar Shack first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1963, in US, UK, Canada, New Zealand and more. One of them is Dot Records DLP 3545.
How do I tell if my copy of Sugar Shack is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DLP 3545, DLP 25545, SH-D 8150, B 320) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LPM-55985 and LPM-55986. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Sugar Shack on vinyl worth?
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.
