Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Don Quixote are there?

The earliest pressings are from 1976, in UK, US, Japan, Germany and more. One of them is His Master's Voice ASD 3118, released May 1976.
How do I tell if my copy of Don Quixote is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ASD 3118, S-37057, ALF-99001, 1 C 065-02 641 Q) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, Q2RA 9330-1 and Q2RA 9331-1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Don Quixote on vinyl worth?
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.
