When was Rusalka first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1963, in Czechoslovakia. One of them is Supraphon SUA 10440/3.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SUA 10440/3, DV 5864, SUA ST 50440/3, ALPO-89-D) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above.

How much is Rusalka 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.
