12 vinyl pressings of Der Große Zapfenstreich are listed here, from 2 countries, released between 1962 and 1985.
The earliest pressings are from 1962, in Germany, US. One of them is Telefunken BLE 14210-P.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BLE 14210-P, SLE 14210-P, SW 99279, TW 91279) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LP-068375 and LP-068374-IV. 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.
