20 vinyl pressings of Swingling Telemann are listed here, from 10 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1966, in France, UK, US, Argentina and more. One of them is Philips 840.578 PY.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 840.578 PY, P 70.347 L, 844.828 BY, BL 7743) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PHI AA 840578 1Y 380 D1 and PHI AA 840578 2Y D1 380. 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.
