14 vinyl pressings of Little Band Big Jazz are listed here, from 3 countries, released between 1960 and 1964.
The earliest pressings are from 1960, in US. One of them is Crown Records CST-190, released February 3, 1960.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CST-190, CLP 5162, CST 190) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CST-190-1 △ 2396 and CST-190-2 △ 2396-X. 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.
