55 vinyl pressings of Strauss Waltzes are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1956 and 1987.
The earliest pressings are from 1956, in US. One of them is Columbia CL 805.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CL 805) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XLP 34557 and XLP 34558. 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.
