29 vinyl pressings of Brasil '65 are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1965 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in US, Canada, Israel. One of them is Capitol Records T 2294.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use T 2294, ST-2294, ST 2294) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, T1-2294-F5 IAM logo in triangle and T2-2294-P1 IAM logo in triangle. 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.
