Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Chet are there?

59 vinyl pressings of Chet are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1959 and 2025.

When was Chet first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1959, in US. One of them is Riverside Records RLP-1135.

How do I tell if my copy of Chet is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RLP-1135, RLP 12-299) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Chet 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.
