by Klaus Doldinger · 1963
Jazz Made In Germany was first pressed on vinyl in 1963. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
9 pressings came out in 1963, the album's first year, in 3 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.

12 vinyl pressings of Jazz Made In Germany are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1963 and 1964.
The earliest pressings are from 1963, in Germany, US, Netherlands. One of them is Philips P 48 024 L.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use P 48 024 L, PHS 600-125, PHM 200-125, 840 443 PY) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AA 48024 1L Made in Germany D and AA 48024 2L Made in Germany E. 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.
