How many vinyl pressings of A Night In Tunisia are there?

When was A Night In Tunisia first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1961, in US. One of them is Blue Note BLP 4049, released February 1961.
How do I tell if my copy of A Night In Tunisia is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BLP 4049, BST 84049, 84049) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BN-LP-4049-A · and BN-LP-4049-B ·. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is A Night In Tunisia on vinyl worth?
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.
