Mustang Sally / Three Time Loser was first pressed on vinyl in 1966. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

24 vinyl pressings of Mustang Sally / Three Time Loser are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1966 and 1972.
The earliest pressings are from 1966, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Atlantic 45-2365, released November 4, 1966.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 45-2365, 584066, AK 1597, AT. 2365X) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, W A-11028-12 LW AT and W A-11029-12 LW AT. 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.
