The earliest pressings are from 1972, in US, Germany. One of them is Blue Note BN-LA006-F.
How do I tell if my copy of Extensions is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BN-LA006-F, BN-LA 006-F, 84 424 K) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BNLA·006-A - 1̶A̶ VAN GELDER and BNLA·006-B - 1̶A̶ VAN GELDER 3. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Extensions 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.
