The earliest pressings are from 1964, in US. One of them is Blue Note 84124, released January 1964.
How do I tell if my copy of A New Perspective is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 84124, BLP 4124, BST 84124) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, STEREO P BNST-84124-A-1 VAN GELDER and STEREO P BNST-84124 B-2 VAN GELDER. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is A New Perspective 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.
