17 vinyl pressings of Single Girl are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1966 and 1968.
The earliest pressings are from 1966, in US, Canada, Germany. One of them is MGM Records SE-4455.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SE-4455, E 4455, E 4455(C), SE 4455(D)) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XSBV127637-1B SE4455 MGS 800 and XSBB127638-1B SE4455 MGS801. 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.
