Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Auf Hoher See are there?

47 vinyl pressings of Auf Hoher See are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1961 and 1978.

When was Auf Hoher See first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1961, in Germany, Argentina. One of them is Polydor 237 250, released June 1961.

How do I tell if my copy of Auf Hoher See is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 237 250, LPHM 46 750, 250 202) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 237250 A F1 D/W A1 Made in Germany and 237250 B F1 D/W D Made in Germany. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Auf Hoher See on vinyl worth?

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.
