26 vinyl pressings of Diggi Loo / Diggi Ley are listed here, from 11 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1984, in Sweden, UK, Australia, France and more. One of them is Mariann MAS 2405.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MAS 2405, MAS 2413, PRO 309, PAN 5) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MAS 2405 A 28.3.84 GP LR/CR and MAS 2405 B 28.3.84 GP LR/CR. 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.
