22 vinyl pressings of Song Without End - Original Soundtrack Recording are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1960 and 1966.
The earliest pressings are from 1960, in US, UK, Canada, South Africa and more. One of them is Colpix Records CP 506.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CP 506, SCP 506, CCL 30169, CSCL 70042) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CP 506-A AB DTC and CP 506-B AB DTC. 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.
