How do I tell if my copy of Jump Up Calypso is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use VP-2388, LSP-2388, LPM-2388, 31.537) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, M2PO-4869 and M2PO-4870. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Jump Up Calypso on vinyl worth?
