10 vinyl pressings of Frater Venantius are listed here, from 1 country, released between 1964 and 1965.
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in Netherlands. One of them is CCGC PR 600.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PR 600, 327 793 JF) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, HM004031-1 PR 600 A and HM004032-1 PR 600 B. 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.
