Vinyl pressings
by Stan Getz · 1962
Jazz Samba was first pressed on vinyl in 1962. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
29 pressings came out in 1962, the album's first year, in 12 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

125 vinyl pressings of Jazz Samba are listed here, from 20 countries, released between 1962 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1962, in US, UK, Japan, Australia and more. One of them is Verve Records V6-8432, released June 19, 1962.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use V6-8432, V-8432, VLP 9013, SVLP 9013) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, V6-8432-A [Block-shaped S] 61-VGS-548-RE-2 and V6-8432-B 61-VGS-549 RE-4 [Block-shaped S]. 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.
