24 vinyl pressings of Session With The Dave Clark Five are listed here, from 16 countries, released between 1964 and 1968.
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in UK, Japan, Denmark, Philippines and more. One of them is Columbia 33SX 1598, released April 1, 1964.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 33SX 1598, OR 7085, T6062, LDS 2107) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XAX 2615-1N and XAX 2616-1N. 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.
