12 vinyl pressings of Lieder are listed here, from 4 countries, released between 1978 and 1985.
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in Germany. One of them is Deutsche Grammophon 2530 988.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2530 988) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2530 988 = 2 S1 320 1 G and 2530 988 S2 320 1 B I. 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.
