56 vinyl pressings of Herbie Mann At The Village Gate are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1962 and 2018.
The earliest pressings are from 1962, in US, Australia, Canada, Europe and more. One of them is Atlantic ATLANTIC 1380, released April 1962.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ATLANTIC 1380, SD 1380, HAA 7709, AT. 1380) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, A11859-C AT W ⇧ 5 A A U and A11860-C AT 3 W [Sailor's cap] [Block-shaped "S"]. 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.
