10 vinyl pressings of Stabat Mater are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1981 and 1989.
The earliest pressings are from 1982, in Germany, France, Brazil, Europe and more. One of them is Deutsche Grammophon 2532 046.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2532 046, 28MG 0264, 428 126-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
