PAUL DRAKE NICK AND JULIE HI ! PR-M BIG SHOUT TO THE BOYS AT FISHER. THANKS BECKY. and SYM 003 — AA1 PORKY. PR-M MORE DANGEROUS RECORDS.. 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.
