10 vinyl pressings of Feeling Good (His First In Person Album) are listed here, from 4 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1966, in US, UK, Canada, New Zealand. One of them is Columbia CL 2447.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CL 2447, CS 9247, CL 2447, BPG 62400, CS9247, SBPG 62400) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XLP 111682 1A and XLP 111683 1A. 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.
