13 vinyl pressings of Die Kunst Der Trompeter are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1966 and 1977.
The earliest pressings are from 1966, in Germany, UK. One of them is Columbia SMC 91 421.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SMC 91 421, 1C 053 - 28 936, HQS 1049, HQM 1049) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, YRX 1311-1 and YRX-1312-1. 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.
