32 vinyl pressings of Over Under Sideways Down are listed here, from 19 countries, released between 1966 and 2023.
The earliest pressings are from 1966, in UK, US, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is Columbia DB 7928, released May 27, 1966.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DB 7928, 5-10035, 310.188, DO-4693) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 7XCA 30538-1 RA KT 2 and 7XCA 30539-1 RD KT 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.
