The earliest pressings are from 1961, in US, UK, Canada, France and more. One of them is Columbia Masterworks OL 5670, released October 1961.
How do I tell if my copy of West Side Story is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use OL 5670, OS 2070, 847 126 BY, OL-5670) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XLP53544-1J and XLP53545-1H. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is West Side Story 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.
