21 vinyl pressings of Ella & Duke At The Côte D'Azur are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1966 and 2010.
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in US, UK, South Africa. One of them is Verve Records V6-4072-2.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use V6-4072-2, V-4072-2, SVLP 9169, VLP 9169) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
