Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Жизель are there?

35 vinyl pressings of Жизель are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1970 and 1990.

When was Жизель first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1970, in Germany. One of them is Melodia-Eurodisc 85 298 XK.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 85 298 XK, 85 300 XK) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, S 85298 A-1 Made in Germany and S 85298 B-1 Made in Germany. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Жизель 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.
