Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Further Definitions are there?

When was Further Definitions first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1962, in US, UK, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is Impulse! A-12, released March 1962.
How do I tell if my copy of Further Definitions is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use A-12, A-12-S, CSD 1480) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, A-12 A LW and A-12 B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Further Definitions 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.
