44 vinyl pressings of Black Coffee With Peggy Lee are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1953 and 2021.
The earliest pressings are from 1953, in US, Brazil, Canada. One of them is Decca DL 5482, released August 1953.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DL 5482, ED-533, SLP-7759) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MG3253T2 3 V|| and MG3254T2 3 V||||. 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.
