12 vinyl pressings of Groeten Uit Grollo are listed here, from 3 countries, released between 1967 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in Netherlands, Germany. One of them is Philips XPY 855 040.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use XPY 855 040, 844 054 PY) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AA 855 040 1Y 1 670 ℗1967 117 and AA 855 040 2Y 1 670 ℗1967 116. 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.
