How many vinyl pressings of Carmina Burana are there?

When was Carmina Burana first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1961, in Czechoslovakia, US. One of them is Supraphon SUA 10409.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SUA 10409, DV 5823, PLP-161, PLP (S) 161) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, VM 2209/H B1B and VM 2210/E A3A. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Carmina Burana 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.
