15 vinyl pressings of Pete Fountain's Music From Dixie are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1962 and 1963.
The earliest pressings are from 1962, in US, UK. One of them is Coral CRL 57401.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CRL 57401, CRL 757401, LVA 9200) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MG8380TI Λ and MG8381TI ΛI. 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.
