11 vinyl pressings of Album Nº 6 are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1967 and 1969.
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in France, Canada, Greece, Netherlands and more. One of them is Philips 844.705 BY.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 844.705 BY, 844.705, 844 823 PY, 844 705) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PHI AA 844705 1Y 380 844705 BY and PHI AA 844705 2Y 380 844705 BY. 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.
