34 vinyl pressings of Trumpet À Gogo Vol. 2 are listed here, from 16 countries, released between 1967 and 1973.
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in Germany, UK, US, Austria and more. One of them is Polydor 249 161.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 249 161, WS 1714, 249161, LPHM 49161) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 249 161 = 2 A Made in Germany Ⓟ 1967 and 249 161 = 2 B Made in Germany Ⓟ 1967. 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.
