39 vinyl pressings of Bambi are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1957 and 2022.
The earliest pressings are from 1957, in US, UK, Australia. One of them is Disneyland WDL-4010, released June 1957.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use WDL-4010, DPL 39001) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, WDL 4010 #1 B-16826 and WDL-4010-2 B-12827R. 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.
