12 vinyl pressings of Jazzmatazz Volume II (The New Reality) are listed here, from 2 countries, released between 1995 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1995, in US, UK. One of them is Chrysalis F1 34290.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use F1 34290, SPRO-10432, 7243 8 34820 1 6, 7243 8 34806 1 6) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MASTERDISK TD SRC F1-34290-RE1-A 1-1 and SRC F1-34290-RE1-B 1-1. 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.
