Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Money Jungle are there?

77 vinyl pressings of Money Jungle are listed here, from 19 countries, released between 1962 and 2025.

When was Money Jungle first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1962, in US, Canada, France. One of them is United Artists Jazz UAJS 15017.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use UAJS 15017, UAJ 14017, 38016) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, UAJS-15017-1 (Plastylite"ear" mark) and UAJS-15017-2 (Plastylite"ear" mark). Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Money Jungle 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.
