11 vinyl pressings of Good Girls / Memory are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1963 and 1964.
The earliest pressings are from 1963, in US, Denmark, Netherlands, Sweden. One of them is May MY138.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MY138, MY 138, CX 42.892) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, NO7W 0755-3 and NO7W 0757-3. 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.
