11 vinyl pressings of Walt Disney's Mary Poppins are listed here, from 1 country, released between 1965 and 1966.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in UK. One of them is Society STSOC 1010.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use STSOC 1010, SOC 1010, PRE 631) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, STSOC1010A L and STSOC1010B. 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.
