Vinyl pressings
by The Supremes · 1965

19 vinyl pressings of Sing Country Western & Pop are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1965 and 1973.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in US, UK, Denmark, Australia and more. One of them is Motown MS 625, released February 22, 1965.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MS 625, MT 625, TML 11018, TMLO 10001) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
