18 vinyl pressings of Μάθημα Σολφέζ are listed here, from 13 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1977, in Greece, UK, Austria, France and more. One of them is Philips 6060 274.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 6060 274, PXG 254, PX 254, 6060 273) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 6060 274 1 F and 6060 274 2 F. 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.
