17 vinyl pressings of Sings Weber And Wagner are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1959 and 1982.
The earliest pressings are from 1959, in US, UK. One of them is Angel Records S. 35806.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use S. 35806, 35806, 33CX 1658, SAX 2300) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, YAX-X-116-D9 [anvil/lathe] and YAX-X-117-D3" [anvil/lathe] &. 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.
