17 vinyl pressings of Trio / Trio In A Minor are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1951 and 1971.
The earliest pressings are from 1951, in US, Canada. One of them is RCA Victor Red Seal LM-1119, released February 1951.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LM-1119) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, EO-LRC-3938 and EO-LRC-3939. 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.
