22 vinyl pressings of Since I Fell For You / Are You Sincere are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1963 and 1964.

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 1439, HLA 9810, HL-2153, CC 26.231) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, [MR logo] P5KM-3322 M-2 RDL △49456 1439A and [MR logo] P5KM-3323 M-2 RDL △49456-X 1439B. 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.
