20 vinyl pressings of '67 Non Stop Dancing are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1967 and 1970.
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in Germany, Canada, Israel, Norway and more. One of them is Polydor 249 122.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 249 122, SLPHM 249122, LPHM 49122, 249 122 SLPHM) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, Made in Germany 1 ℗ 1967 B7 ◇V P 249122= 2 A and Made in Germany A E 4 ℗ 1967 B7 ◇V 249122 = 2 B. 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.
