12 vinyl pressings of Louis And Keely! are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1959 and 1960.
The earliest pressings are from 1959, in US, Argentina, Canada, New Zealand and more. One of them is Dot Records DLP 25210.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DLP 25210, DLP 3210, 12096, HAM-D 6082) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LPS 75,240 and LPS 75,241. 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.
