Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Moods are there?
21 vinyl pressings of Moods are listed here, from 2 countries, released between 1960 and 1991.
When was Moods first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1960, in US. One of them is Blue Note 4044, released November 1960.
How do I tell if my copy of Moods is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 4044, BST 84044, BLP 4044) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BN-LP-4044-A P RVG and BN-LP-4044-B P RVG. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Moods 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.
