59 vinyl pressings of These Boots Are Made For Walkin' are listed here, from 28 countries, released between 1965 and 1966.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in US, UK, Australia, Costa Rica and more. One of them is Reprise Records 0432, released December 1965.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 0432, G-0432, R.20432, R.432) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, HX-3865-1 and HX-3864-2. 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.
