Questions
How many vinyl pressings of The Sidewinder are there?
84 vinyl pressings of The Sidewinder are listed here, from 15 countries, released between 1964 and 2026.
When was The Sidewinder first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in US. One of them is Blue Note BLP 4157, released July 1964.
How do I tell if my copy of The Sidewinder is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BLP 4157, BST 84157, 84157) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, P BNLP-4157-A VAN GELDER and P BNLP-4157-B VAN GELDER. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is The Sidewinder on vinyl worth?
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.
