31 vinyl pressings of Chet Baker In New York are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1958 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1958, in US. One of them is Riverside Records RLP 12-281.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RLP 12-281, RLP 1119) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RLP 12-281 A CC and RLP 12-281 A CC. 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.
