26 vinyl pressings of At The Five Spot Volume 2 are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1963 and 1986.
The earliest pressings are from 1963, in US. One of them is Prestige PR 7294, released November 1963.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PR 7294, PRST 7294) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, NJLP-8288A PRLP 7294A and NJLP-8288B PRLP 7294B. 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.
