34 vinyl pressings of Miles Davis And The Modern Jazz Giants are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1959 and 2019.
The earliest pressings are from 1959, in US, Denmark, Israel. One of them is Prestige PRLP 7150.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PRLP 7150, PRESTIGE 7150, 55953) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PRLP-7150-A RVG and PRLP-7150-B RVG. 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.
