18 vinyl pressings of Pat Boone's Golden Hits Featuring Speedy Gonzales are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1962 and 1973.
The earliest pressings are from 1962, in US, UK, Canada, Colombia and more. One of them is Dot Records DLP 3455.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DLP 3455, DLP 25455, HAD.8031, HA-D 8031) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
