40 vinyl pressings of 16 Droommelodieën are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1978 and 1989.
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in Netherlands, Belgium, Brazil, Greece and more. One of them is CNR 656.001.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 656.001, 2926 109, TT-160, 2480 482) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 656 001 A and 656001 B. 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.
