22 vinyl pressings of Jazz Themes From The Wild One are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1953 and 2016.
The earliest pressings are from 1953, in US, Canada. One of them is Decca DL 5515.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DL 5515, ED 633) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MG3527T1 3 and MG3528T1 3. 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.
