When was Duke Ellington Meets Coleman Hawkins first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1963, in US, UK, Canada, Netherlands and more. One of them is Impulse! A-26, released January 1963.
How do I tell if my copy of Duke Ellington Meets Coleman Hawkins is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use A-26, AS-26, CLP 1644, CSD 1494) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, A-26·A LW VAN GELDER and A-26·B LW VAN GELDER. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Duke Ellington Meets Coleman Hawkins 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.
