16 vinyl pressings of Blues Anytime Vol.2 are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1968 and 1985.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in UK, US, Australia, Italy and more. One of them is Immediate IMCP015.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use IMCP015, Z12 52 014, IMLP-015, IMLM 208) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, IMCP 015 - 1C - 2 G and IMCP 015 - 2C - 2 G. 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.
