37 vinyl pressings of Louis Armstrong Meets Oscar Peterson are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1959 and 2020.
The earliest pressings are from 1959, in US, Australia, South Africa. One of them is Verve Records MG V-8322.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MG V-8322, MGV-8322) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, V-8322-A SIDE-1 50,772 and V-8322-B SIDE-2 50,773. 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.
