18 vinyl pressings of Texas Tambourine are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1957 and 1959.
The earliest pressings are from 1957, in US, UK, Canada, Italy. One of them is Columbia 4-41002.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 4-41002, JK.1033, 322 179 BF) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ZSP 42163 and ZSP 42164. 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.
