10 vinyl pressings of Casatschok are listed here, from 8 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1969, in France, UK, Canada, Italy and more. One of them is Philips 844.916 BY.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 844.916 BY, SCX 6348, 844.916, D. 30-182) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PHI AA 844316 1Y 380 844916 BY and PHI AA 844916 2Y 380 844916 BY. 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.
