10 vinyl pressings of Sax In Silk are listed here, from 4 countries, released between 1954 and 1967.
The earliest pressings are from 1954, in US. One of them is RCA Victor LPM-1040, released November 1954.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LPM-1040) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, E4 VP 8275 1S I and E4 VP 8276 1S I. 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.
