20 vinyl pressings of South Street / Them Terrible Boots are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1960 and 1963.
The earliest pressings are from 1960, in US. One of them is Cameo C-243.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use C-243) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, C-243-A ARP AudioMatrix MASTERING RECO-ART PHILA. and C-243-B ARP AudioMatrix MASTERING RECO-ART PHILA.. 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.
