11 vinyl pressings of Gregorian Chants Septuagesima Mass are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1960 and 1976.
The earliest pressings are from 1960, in US, Spain. One of them is London Records OS 25230.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use OS 25230, 5599, CCL 38.009) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
