25 vinyl pressings of Remember (Walkin' In The Sand) are listed here, from 11 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Red Bird RB 10-008, released August 1964.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RB 10-008, RB-10-008, RB10 008, B 3283X) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LS 1028-3 ᴵᴵᴵᴵ A+P ᴵᴵᴵᴵᴵ AudioMatrix and LS1029 AudioMatrix 1 A ᴵᴵᴵ ᴵᴵᴵᴵᴵᴵᴵᴵ. 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.
