43 vinyl pressings of Amalia À L'Olympia are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1957 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 1957, in UK, Japan. One of them is Columbia CSX 123.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CSX 123, 33CSX 11, KL 5019) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, M6 179488 XLX 539 21B and M6 179295 XLX 540 21. 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.
