29 vinyl pressings of With Respect To Nat are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1965 and 1983.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in UK. One of them is Mercury 20079 SMCL.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 20079 SMCL, 20079 MCL) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 1 135997 1Y//1▽4201 and 135997 2Y//1▽420 1 1. 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.
