Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Night Train are there?
102 vinyl pressings of Night Train are listed here, from 23 countries, released between 1963 and 2025.
When was Night Train first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1963, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Verve Records V6-8538.
How do I tell if my copy of Night Train is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use V6-8538, V-8538, VLP 9052, V6 8538(E)) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, V6-8538 SIDE 1 63-VGS-544-RE-1 and V6-8538 SIDE 2 63-VGS-545-RE-1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Night Train 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.
