How many vinyl pressings of Lies are there?

The earliest pressings are from 1965, in US, UK, Germany, Australia and more. One of them is Challenge 59321, released November 1965.
How do I tell if my copy of Lies is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 59321, HLH 10013, HLH 10013 s, DL 20 794) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, C-1279-1D t11 and C-1280 1-A T1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Lies 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.
