by Jacques Moderne · 1961

Not sure how to read the runout? See matrix numbers, runout and dead wax and how to tell a first pressing.

24 vinyl pressings of Tanzmusik Der Renaissance are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1961 and 1986.
The earliest pressings are from 1961, in Germany, France. One of them is Harmonia Mundi HM 30 610.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use HM 30 610, H M 30610) 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.
