27 vinyl pressings of Good Golly Miss Molly are listed here, from 16 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in UK, US, Netherlands, Australia and more. One of them is His Master's Voice POP 1273, released March 1964.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use POP 1273, 66030, 45 POP 1273, EA-4625) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 7XEA 20816-1N and 7XEA 20817-1N. 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.
