The earliest pressings are from 1963, in US, UK, Netherlands. One of them is Columbia CS 8906, released December 16, 1963.
How do I tell if my copy of Quiet Nights is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CS 8906, CL 2106, BFG 62213, BPG 62213) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XSM-75533-1D and XSM-75534-1AD. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Quiet Nights 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.
