Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Blue Hour are there?
34 vinyl pressings of Blue Hour are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1961 and 2024.
When was Blue Hour first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1961, in US. One of them is Blue Note BST 84057.
How do I tell if my copy of Blue Hour is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BST 84057, BLP 4057) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BST-84057-A (P) (RVG STEREO) and BST-84057-B (P) (RVG STEREO). Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Blue Hour 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.
