20 vinyl pressings of Messe C-Moll KV 427 are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1963 and 1979.
The earliest pressings are from 1963, in Germany, UK, New Zealand. One of them is Columbia STC 91 295.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use STC 91 295, 33CX1894, SAX 2544, SAXM 2544) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, YRX 1117-1 and YRX 1118-1. 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.
