14 vinyl pressings of Shirley Stops The Shows are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1965 and 1969.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in UK, Australia, Jamaica, New Zealand. One of them is Columbia 33SX 1691.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 33SX 1691, SCX 3543, 33OSX 1691, SCXO 3543) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XAX 2764-1N GP and XAX 2765-1N GP. 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.
