Vinyl pressings
by Nancy Sinatra · 1966
Sugar was first pressed on vinyl in 1966. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
11 pressings came out in 1966, 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.

48 vinyl pressings of Sugar are listed here, from 17 countries, released between 1966 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 1966, in Australia, Canada, Germany, India and more. One of them is Reprise Records RS 6239.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RS 6239, R-6239, RS 6239, SRI 6239) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MX151544 and MX151545. 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.
