Vinyl pressings
by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass · 1965
Whipped Cream & Other Delights was first pressed on vinyl in 1965. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
93 pressings came out in 1965, the album's first year, in 15 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

220 vinyl pressings of Whipped Cream & Other Delights are listed here, from 30 countries, released between 1965 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in US, Argentina, Australia, Austria and more. One of them is A&M Records SP 4110, released April 1965.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SP 4110, LP110, LP 110, SP 410) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, o SP--119--2H P and o SP--120--1G P. 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.
