32 vinyl pressings of Sugartime / Banana Split are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1957 and 1958.
The earliest pressings are from 1957, in US. One of them is Coral 9-61924, released December 1957.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 9-61924, 61924) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, R45 103671 21 H A and R45 103672 22 H A. 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.
