24 vinyl pressings of Memorial Album Recorded Live At The Five Spot are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1965 and 1989.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in US, Japan. One of them is Prestige PR 7334, released February 1965.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PR 7334, PRST 7334, SMJ-7269) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PRLP-7334A VAN GELDER and PRLP-7334B VAN GELDER. 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.
