The earliest pressings are from 1966, in Germany, US, UK, Canada. One of them is Electrola SMA 91 470/72 S.
How do I tell if my copy of Turandot is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SMA 91 470/72 S, SCL-3671, AN 159 - 61, SLS 921/3) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2 YBA 88 and 2 YBA 89. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Turandot 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.
