28 vinyl pressings of Sound Effects Volume 1 are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1960 and 1971.
The earliest pressings are from 1960, in US, Argentina, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Audio Fidelity DFM 3006.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DFM 3006, DFS 7006, 150 000 FBY) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DFM 3006 A R 48 AB and DFM 3006 B R 48 AB. 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.
