Vinyl pressings
by Peter, Paul & Mary · 1965
See What Tomorrow Brings was first pressed on vinyl in 1965. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
25 pressings came out in 1965, the album's first year, in 8 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

48 vinyl pressings of See What Tomorrow Brings are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1965 and 1976.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Warner Bros. Records WS 1615.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use WS 1615, W 1615, WS 1615 WS.1615 W1615, LPWS 1531) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 39049 WS1615A-1C- and 39050 WS1615B-1C. 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.
