15 vinyl pressings of Zoot Sims And The Gershwin Brothers are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1975 and 1990.
The earliest pressings are from 1975, in US, UK, Canada, Germany and more. One of them is Pablo Records 2310-744.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2310-744, 2310 744, MW 2157, MTF 1027) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2310-744 PP-1899 3 KENDUN-B-ⅠA1D and 2310-744 PP 1900-3 KENDUN-B-Ⅰ A1ℇ. 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.
