50 vinyl pressings of Ella And Louis Again (Volume One) are listed here, from 15 countries, released between 1957 and 2012.
The earliest pressings are from 1957, in UK, New Zealand, Italy. One of them is His Master's Voice CLP 1146.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CLP 1146, MG V-4006, MGV 4006-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MGV 4006A-2N G 1 and MGV 4006B-1N G 1. 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.
