The earliest pressings are from 1959, in US, UK, Italy, Australia and more. One of them is RCA Victor 47-7588, released August 1959.
How do I tell if my copy of Shout is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 47-7588, RCA1149, 45-RCA-1149, 45-RCA 1149) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, K5PW3116-3S A3 R and K5PW3117-3S A3 R. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Shout on vinyl worth?
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.
