17 vinyl pressings of Woody Herman: 1964 are listed here, from 8 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in US, UK, Canada, Colombia and more. One of them is Philips PHM 200-118, released February 1964.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PHM 200-118, PHS-600-118, PHS 600-118, BL.7608) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PHM200118A M1 RR and PHM200118B M1 RR. 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.
