39 vinyl pressings of The Voice Of Scott McKenzie are listed here, from 18 countries, released between 1967 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in US, UK, Canada, Colombia and more. One of them is Ode Records Z12 44002, released December 1967.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use Z12 44002, Z12 44001, S 63157, BPG 63157) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ACZ-12-44002-1 o A3 and ABZ12 44002-2 o A3. 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.
