44 vinyl pressings of Gary Burton & Keith Jarrett are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1971 and 1978.
The earliest pressings are from 1971, in US, Canada, Germany, Italy and more. One of them is Atlantic SD 1577.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SD 1577, 40.208, ATC 9301) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ST-A-712105D AT-MP and ST-A-712106D AT-MP. 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.
