15 vinyl pressings of Cziffra Favourites are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1961 and 1982.
The earliest pressings are from 1961, in France, New Zealand. One of them is La Voix De Son Maître ASDF 230.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ASDF 230, MALP 1896) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2 YLA 1105 and 2 YLA 1106. 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.
