by Larry Coryell · 1969

23 vinyl pressings of Coryell are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1969 and 2022.
The earliest pressings are from 1969, in US, UK, Canada, France and more. One of them is Vanguard Apostolic VSD 6547.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use VSD 6547, VSD•6547, VSD-6547, SVRL 19059) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XSV222356-2E V SD 6547 A and XSV222357-2A V SD6547 B. 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.
