18 vinyl pressings of Winterreise • 6 Lieder are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1966 and 1982.
The earliest pressings are from 1966, in Germany, Japan. One of them is Deutsche Grammophon 139 201/02.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 139 201/02, MG-9091-3, MG-9009-1-3) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2 1 Ⓟ 1966 M5 SCHW◇K 0 139201-4 A Made in Germany and 0 C 1 Ⓟ 196 L5 SCHW◇WK 0 139201-4 B Made in Germany. 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.
