13 vinyl pressings of Sings All About Love are listed here, from 4 countries, released between 1965 and 1969.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in US, UK, Australia, Canada. One of them is Mercury SR 61066.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SR 61066, MG 21066, SR-61066, 20076 MCL) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SR 61066-A- M1 and SR 61066-B- M2. 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.
