19 vinyl pressings of People Say / Girls Can Tell are listed here, from 12 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Red Bird RB 10-006, released July 1964.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RB 10-006, RB-10-006, B-3274X, RBV. 35002) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, L/S 1023 and L/S 1025. 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.
