10 vinyl pressings of The Lone Psychiatrist are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1955 and 1956.
The earliest pressings are from 1955, in US, UK, Canada, New Zealand. One of them is Capitol Records 3138, released May 1955.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 3138, F3138, CL.14316, 45-CL 14316) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 13629 and 13630. 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.
