10 vinyl pressings of Euryanthe are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1975 and 1986.
The earliest pressings are from 1975, in UK, US, France, Germany and more. One of them is His Master's Voice SLS 983, released September 1975.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SLS 983, SDL-3764, 2C 165-02591-594, 1C 191-02 591/94 Q) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, Q2RA 9304-1 and Q2RA 9305-1. 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.
