15 vinyl pressings of Schneewalzer are listed here, from 1 country, released between 1966 and 1981.
The earliest pressings are from 1966, in Germany. One of them is Philips 345 787 PF.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 345 787 PF, 345 787PF) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, * AA345787 1F and * AA345787 2F. 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.
