12 vinyl pressings of Keep It A Secret / Once To Every Heart are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1952 and 1953.
The earliest pressings are from 1952, in US. One of them is Columbia 39891, released October 1952.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 39891, 4-39891) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RHCO10316-1A and RHCO10317-1B. 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.
