15 vinyl pressings of Miles In Tokyo are listed here, from 4 countries, released between 1969 and 2023.
The earliest pressings are from 1969, in Japan. One of them is CBS/Sony SONX 60064-R, released June 6, 1969.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SONX 60064-R) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 60064A3 1 A 3 and 60064B5 1 B 1. 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.
