15 vinyl pressings of Don Giovanni are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1959 and 1979.
The earliest pressings are from 1959, in Germany. One of them is Deutsche Grammophon SLPM 138 050/52, released July 1959.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SLPM 138 050/52) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LAB 0 671 138 050⁴ A and LAB 0 673² 138 051³ A. 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.
