10 vinyl pressings of Tu' Mir Nicht Weh / Paradiso are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1962 and 1991.
The earliest pressings are from 1962, in Germany, Denmark, France, Netherlands and more. One of them is MGM Records 61 056.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 61 056, 45-MGM 6576, MGM 6576, SPF-1102) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 61056 A Made In Germany E2 D/SL + A G and 61056 B Made In Germany E2 D/SL + A O. 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.
