43 vinyl pressings of Original Golden Hits Volume II are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1969 and 1974.
The earliest pressings are from 1969, in US, Australia, Canada, Germany and more. One of them is Sun SUN 101.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SUN 101, SR66-9740, BM-631, BI1594) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XSBV-130189-1A X- H SUN 101 T and XSBV-131188-1A C SUN 101 T. 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.
