26 vinyl pressings of Further Adventures Of Jimmy And Wes are listed here, from 15 countries, released between 1969 and 2019.
The earliest pressings are from 1969, in US, UK, South Africa, Australia and more. One of them is Verve Records V6-8766.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use V6-8766, V-8766, SVLP 9241, VLP 9241) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, V6-8766 SIDE-1 MGS-1826-1 and V6-8766 SIDE-2 MGS-1827. 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.
