30 vinyl pressings of I'll Remember Tonight are listed here, from 18 countries, released between 1958 and 1959.
The earliest pressings are from 1958, in US, UK, Mexico, Norway and more. One of them is Dot Records 45-15840, released September 1958.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 45-15840, 45-HL-D 8775, 45-HLD 8775, 45-HL-D.8775) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MW_11693_I6 I and MW_11694_I6 I. 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.
