Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Bumpin' are there?

When was Bumpin' first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1965, in US, UK, Canada, Germany and more. One of them is Verve Records V6-8625.

How do I tell if my copy of Bumpin' is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use V6-8625, V-8625, VLP 9106, V6-8625 (E)) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 65 VGS 540 S1 Van Gelder and 65 VGS 541 Van Gelder. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Bumpin' 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.
