Vinyl pressings
by The Nick Perito Orchestra · 1960
Blazing Latin Brass was first pressed on vinyl in 1960. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
7 pressings came out in 1960, the album's first year, in 5 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.

13 vinyl pressings of Blazing Latin Brass are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1960 and 1961.
The earliest pressings are from 1960, in US, UK, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is United Artists Ultra Audio WWS 8502.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use WWS 8502, WW 7502, SAH-T 6144) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, WOS 7011-2 Bell Sound I and WOS 7012-1 Bell Sound I. 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.
