53 vinyl pressings of 'Four' & More (Recorded Live In Concert) are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1966 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 1966, in US, UK, Japan, Australia and more. One of them is Columbia CS 9253.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CS 9253, CL 2453, SBPG 62655, BPG 62655) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, o XSM112003-1C S D C and o XSM112004-1D Ƨ A 2. 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.
