24 pressings came out in 1960, the album's first year, in 7 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

55 vinyl pressings of Never On Sunday are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1960 and 1983.
The earliest pressings are from 1960, in US, UK, Australia, Brazil and more. One of them is United Artists Records UAS 5070, released July 19, 1960.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use UAS 5070, UAL 4070, UAL 5070, LT 5070) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, UAS 5070 (Horseshoe) (UAS 1513) (Oss 7-19-60) and (Upside Down Q) UAS 5070 (UAS 1514) (Oss 7-19-60). 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.
