17 vinyl pressings of Starlight, Starbright are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1961 and 1965.
The earliest pressings are from 1961, in US, UK, Canada, New Zealand and more. One of them is Canadian American CALP 1005.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CALP 1005, SCALP 1005, 33SX 1386, CALP 1005 RL) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
