Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Ella And Louis are there?
122 vinyl pressings of Ella And Louis are listed here, from 24 countries, released between 1956 and 2026.
When was Ella And Louis first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1956, in US, UK, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is Verve Records MG V-4003, released October 1956.
How do I tell if my copy of Ella And Louis is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MG V-4003, CLP 1098, V 2005, 80052) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MGV 𝟸̷𝟶̷𝟸̷𝟺̷𝙰̷ 4003 A 50078 and MGV𝟸̷𝟶̷𝟸̷𝟺̷𝙱̷ 4003 B 5007𝟾̷9. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Ella And Louis 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.
