Vinyl pressings
by Rita Pavone · 1964
The International Teen-Age Sensation was first pressed on vinyl in 1964. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

19 vinyl pressings of The International Teen-Age Sensation are listed here, from 12 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in US, UK, Australia, Brazil and more. One of them is RCA Victor LPM 2900.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LPM 2900, LSP 2900, SF-7657, RD-7657) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RPRM-4139 and RPRM-4140. 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.
